Possible Benefit in Old Age of One Drink a Day for Middle-Aged Women

from Dr. Gwen's Women's Health Podcasts · host Gwen Morse PhD, RN

Analysis of data from the US Nurses' Health Study (started in 1976) resulted in the conclusion that women who drink 15 grams or less of alcohol a day (the equivalent of one drink of any alcoholic beverage) at midlife may be healthier when older than women who do not drink at all, who consume more than two drinks a day, or who consule four drinks or more at one time.
