Drinking in moderation….just what the doctor ordered!

A recent study of almost 1700 women reported on by the BBC has found that bone density is better in regular drinkers than non-drinkers. The line between drinking a ‘healthy’ amount and drinking too much is of course as thin and easily blurred as ever, but ‘light to moderate’ drinkers were found to have superior bone density to non-drinkers. Doctors have been eager to stress that they are not recommending that anyone drinks more, but I certainly won’t be feeling guilty about having that beer after work!

I wonder if the same findings would apply to gin……
