Half a glass of wine a day may add five years to your life, a new study suggests. Drink beer, and you’ll live only 2 1/2 years longer.
Dutch researchers followed 1,373 men for more than four decades, noting their eating and drinking habits. Men who had about 20 grams of alcohol daily — equivalent to a half a glass of wine — had 2 1/2 years added to their life expectancy at age 50, compared with men who didn’t drink at all, according to the research published today in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. Men who consumed only wine had twice as much added longevity.

How many years? I drink lots of wine, so maybe it's 7.5 years for me.
Drinking Wine Adds 5 Years to Your Life, BEER 2.5 Years
Drinking ONLY Wine Adds 5 Years to Your Life, OTHER ALCOHOL 2.5 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.
But for now I'm off to the pub to add a few more weeks to my life.
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?
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.
Because wine is great. I really, really like wine. I'm drinking wine RIGHT NOW.
