    Two new studies indicate that moderate alcohol drinkers have greater handgrip strength at old age. http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/2333721418766127 … https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1873959818300899 …pic.twitter.com/CnDPQz9V6i

        Interesting. What the study fails to mention is what percentage of daily alcohol consumers survive to 69-70 versus non-alcohol consumers. Could be that the former is a thinned out herd of only the strongest, while the later contains members who survive only due to health habits.

        I started drinking more after being exposed to more responsibility in the workforce and more physical output. That may be the causation. Liquid calories just make it easier to maintain oneself.

        Thanks. Will use this next time the wife tells me to lay off the drinking. I'll tell her I'm in training, so that next time I meet @Instapundit I can crush him with my handshake.
