An interesting and well-done study from a cohort of ageing men in the Netherlands that evaluated how alcohol consumption data collected at 68-to-70 years old related to the risk that the individual would survive to age 90. The authors concluded: “The highest probability of reaching 90 was found in those consuming 5-to-<15 grams per day alcohol, with RR=1.36 (95% CI, 1.20–1.55) when compared with abstainers.”
