According to a new study published this week in the Archives of Internal Medicine, booze can make you skinny! Woohoo! Some choice excerpts:
Although alcohol is packed with calories (about 150 in a six-ounce glass of wine)...[t]he risk of becoming overweight was almost 30 percent lower for women who consumed one or two alcohol beverages a day, compared with nondrinkers.
The trend toward less weight gain among drinkers doesn’t appear to hold true for men [however]...Men typically add alcohol to their daily caloric intake, whereas women are more likely to substitute alcohol for food.
Although this article was posted by fake journalist and my own personal mortal enemy, Tara Parker-Pope, I must admit I like these findings. Not only do they justify drinking, but they also affirm the health benefits of the Alcohol-Cigarettes-Drugs diet I have long advocated. Victory all around!
