Health: Coffee and Alcohol Linked to Longevity

How many of you here loved drinking coffee and/or alcohol?
We are asking because a research called The 90+ Study has found coffee and alcohol to be two of the keys to longevity. The secret, of course, lies in drinking the aforementioned liquid in moderation and moderate is defined as two cups of coffee a day—which decreases the chances of coffee drinkers’ premature death by 10%. On the other hand, participants who drank two glasses of beer or wine daily decreased their chances at a premature death by 18%.
Speaking at the annual conference called the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Austin, Texas, lead researcher of The 90+ Study Dr. Kawas said during her presentation, “I have no explanation for it, but I do firmly believe that modest drinking improves longevity.”
Further, the study found that subjects who engage on a hobby two hours per day lessened their odds of an early death by 21% while those who exercise 15 to 45 minutes daily reduces the risk by 11%.
Interestingly, participants of the study who were “slightly overweight (but not obese) decreases their chances of early death by 3% compared to subjects who were normal or underweight.” Dr. Kawas explained during the aforementioned conference, “It’s not bad to be skinny when you’re young but it’s very bad to be skinny when you’re old.”
University of California neurologist Claudia Kawas and her team had been conducting the study for over 15 years. They have around 1700 participants, all of whom are at least 90 years old. The 90+ Study is said to be “one of the largest studies of the oldest-old in the world” and its goal is to primarily identify the factors associated with longevity among others.

And if you or anyone you know are at least 90 years old and are interested in participating with the research, you may contact 949.768.3635 or [email protected] for more information. Participants are visited twice a year and must be willing to “donate their brains to research after death.”
I love coffee! I drink at least two cups a day but what about you, guys? Also, do you have a hobby? What do you think about the study? Share with us your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below.
I don’t really believe that this is exactly ‘new’ news but if this is true I ought to live a very long time !
2 cups coffee, 2 glasses wine and at least 2 hobbies … use to 2 step
It’s true that some people die but their bodies just keep going on caffeine alone, but this is bullshit presented as news. Drinking might help a little bit, but you’ll also lose all your brain cells, and this doesn’t justify binge drinking. And two glasses of wine is a huge amount, same as two martinis, two big beers. Stupid fake news.
My parents hardly ever drank coffee or wine and they are both in their 90’s and farmed almost 70 years. They were both born to parents that farmed. My dads parents both were in they’re late 90’s when they passed away. My moms parents both passed away in they’re late 70’s. My parents said hard work never killed anyone and to always pray everyday and thank God for giving you another day to live, work and enjoy time with family and friends. I think working hard, thanking God and being nice to everyone does a lot more than coffee and alcohol to live a long life.
Coffee drinking, 2 cups plus, has also been linked recently to prostate health by recent studies.
I can’t drink coffee (up all night even if I drink it 12 hours before) and hate wine — but I do walk 90 minutes daily and read three or four books deeply. (Current book: The Mary McCarthy classic “The Group” — fabulous.) Also, I have to eat a bit of chocolate daily. I plan on living to be 100 — and still having gay sex. marcUPguy
In other real news, coffee boiled in hot water creates acrylamide, a human carcinogen know to cause cancer. Hmmmm….
I look forward to the study that comes out next week that says this isn’t true.
Do they have one on how many loads of cum that a dude should swallow in a day? They have studies for milk, coffee and alcohol. Why not cum?
