Wine drinkers live longer. Previous studies have shown that wine had significantly lowered mortality from both coronary heart disease and cancer when compared with non-wine drinkers. In fact, wine drinkers reduced their risk of death by one-third compared to non-drinkers. People who drank beer and other alcohol had a 10 percent decrease in mortality compared to non-drinkers, so this group showed beneficial effects of moderate alcohol consumption, too, though not as much as the wine drinkers.
