A fair question to ask is whether or not moderate amounts of alcohol are really good for you, or is the better health due to, say, a more relaxed lifestyle, a more affluent lifestyle, better education, or drinking Bordeaux instead of Boone’s Farm. The authors of the study used statistical tools to control for a great number of would-be confounding variables. Age, smoking status, weight, amount of physical activity, diet, marital status, education – even husband’s education – and family history of several diseases are some of the variables they took into account (One would have to assume that the relative benefits of Bordeaux and Boone’s Farm were beyond the scope of the study).

I love it when research tells me to drink more (often).
