Prevent Heart Attacks, Have a Cocktail EVERYDAY at the NOOK!

This has got to be the greatest news.
Have a cheeseburger everynight (or two or five) and promote a heart attack.
Then have a COCKTAIL to wash it down, to prevent a heart attack.
Now that really is like having your cock and eating it too.

I've read lots of articles about one glass of red wine per day being good for all sorts of things, but this is the first review I've seen which begins to condone 'normal' drinking. However, I'm still holding out for the study which shows that it is most healthy to have 3-5 pints of beer in the afternoon, 1-2 bottles of red with dinner, and an unlimited number of gin and tonics in the evening!

The New Scientist is reporting a study by Jochen Schacht of the University of Michigan Medical School in Ann Arbor and his colleagues that moderate consumption of red wine, or of aspirin, could delay the onset of age-related deafness and reduce hearing loss caused by loud noise. So you can drink, take aspirin for the hang-over and believe you're staving off deafness. Isn't science wonderful?

Eh? Can you speak up, sonny?
