Apparently drinking a few times a week reduces diabetes risk by about 30%:

Red wine particularly beneficial- YAY!!!!!

Gin not so (that will upset a fair few of my -fiends- friends!)

Wonder if I can trust this latest survey - there has got to be some trade off in health terms as apparently optimum amounts are 14 drinks for men and 9 for women spread over several days. But this did raise a smile as Friday is one of our wine o'clock days... grin]

Does rose count and can you have twice as much?
