A beer a day keeps the doctor away?

The heart-healthy effects of a daily glass of wine are well-documented, despite the prohibitionist movement's attempts to claim otherwise. Good news today from Britain, where scientists say that the same effect is also gained from a daily beer - or a bit more (25 grams of alcohol a day seems to be optimal). From the article, "You will actually be noticeably healthier than a teetotaller if you down a little more than a pint a day on average, and as healthy as a teetotaller if you drink a bit more."

I'm left wondering if this means I can bill my company's healthcare plan for a bottle of wine, though.
