   "Drinking Wine Adds 5 Years to Your Life, Wine 2.5 Years"

   How many years? I drink lots of wine, so maybe it's 7.5 years for me.

   John was obviously trying to extend his life by imbibing before posting the article.

   Drinking game: Every time "wine" is written in a neatorama headline where the word "beer" should be, take a shot.

   Heading Should Read:

   Drinking ONLY Wine Adds 5 Years to Your Life, OTHER ALCOHOL 2.5 Years

   Maybe a Neatorama drinking game should be a glass of wine for every article typo? just kidding!

   Hmmm... So if I drink wine AND beer, I'll get an extra 7.5 years...

   So for a full glass of wine and 2 beers a night, I'll get 15 years...

   I'm going to drink my way to immortality.

    How about each time an article has the word "neat" in it you have a glass of wine.

    That's a completely ridiculous study. Alcohol is hard on the body, including the liver. Was this funded by doctors in Ireland, perchance?

    I need a t-shirt that says "Correlation is not causality".

    But for now I'm off to the pub to add a few more weeks to my life.

    20 grams of wine is less than 2 Tablespoons. Even if 20 grams were equal to half a cup, who drinks half a cup of wine a day? That's only 4 ounces. I guess the Neatorama drinking game would allow you drink wine in 1 Tablespoon increments. The winner would be the person who could drink only 1.

    Hmm... did they control for what sort of beer is drunk? I mean, that's yellow lager-drinking country there. I expect decent beer (stout, real ale, etc.) is just as good for a body as wine, if not rather better.

    How about you have to drink a beer every time Neatorama posts a story or video about an animal?

    A glass of wine at every typo.

    Should we also do rules for specific types of articles? Like a beer for the "Music tidbits" articles?

    What about rules for new posts about something that already had an article? Like if the someone made a flash game, got a post about it, then made another flash game and got another article? Or like the two articles on Sonya?

    "20 grams of wine is less than 2 Tablespoons".

    Wine isn't pure alcohol. A standard drink has about 14 grams of alcohol in it. So, drinking 20g would get you about 2/3 of the way to being too drunk to drive.

    The downside of living 5 years longer is that you have to spend the previous 60 years slightly intoxicated.

    How many years can you gain if you drink SEVERAL glasses of wine a day?

    Because wine is great. I really, really like wine. I'm drinking wine RIGHT NOW.
