Live longer....: Seems to prolong longevity. Total mortality decreases about 18% with one drink/day for females. Whether this makes you live better depends on whether you like alcohol or not.

Wine.: Wine in amounts up to one glass daily, especially red wine, has been shown to have heart benefits. The resveritrol found in red wine is particularly beneficial. However, more than 2.5 glasses/day for a man or 1.5 glasses/day for a woman can lead to cirrhosis. So enjoy, but be careful.
