One Alcoholic Drink a Day Okay

The recent study by the New England Journal of Medicine revealed

"On average, the women who drank a beer or a glass of wine each day tended to have the mental agility of someone a year-and-a-half younger than those who abstained."

This article came from CBS via The Early Show medical correspondent Dr. Emily Senay and co-anchor Rene Syler.

I find it interesting to note in the details that the study was based on nearly 12,500 nurses and that this conclusion was reached when they looked at a group of women between the ages of 71 and 80.

"If you enjoy a glass of wine with dinner or a beer with your pizza, you should feel good about yourself, and if you're drinking three or four glasses with dinner, this study is another good reason to cut it back to just one. "

Now ladies, the choice remains yours as to what one drink you'll have and when.
