CB - quote.bloomberg.com "...``Over all, moderate drinking did not appear to be a harmful factor in this study but was, instead, arguably beneficial,'' because it was linked to a lower risk of dying, said the researchers. The two studies will appear in tomorrow's Journal of the American Medical Association. In the first study, about two of every 100 daily drinkers died annually, compared with three deaths for every 100 drinkers who had fewer than seven drinks a week and six of every 100 nondrinkers, according to researchers from the Boston medical center. ..."
