A study of 1,824 adults ages 55 to 65 found that moderate and heavy drinkers were less likely to die than abstainers over a 20-year span, according to researchers at the University of Texas in Austin and Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif. Moderate drinkers were defined as those who consumed alcohol in amounts less than three drinks daily, while heavy drinkers had three or more drinks a day, according to the study in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research.
