A new dampener the medical world for all silvers who look forward to a glass of chilled rose on the patio before dinner on warm summer evenings. Even light drinking can damage the health of older adults, according to a new study. Researchers tracked over 135,000 adults aged 60 and older over 12 years. Their findings also dispelled the notion that light to moderate drinking is good for the heart. However, the gloom is lightened slightly by the World Health Organisation, which, while it agrees with the findings, says most alcoholic harm is caused by binge or heavy continuous drinking.
