> The $100 million-dollar, 10-year study is now underway and will ultimately enroll 7,800 participants aged 50 or over at 16 sites worldwide. Half of the participants will abstain from hooch, while the rest will imbibe one serving a day. Scientists will track participants for an average of six years, looking at risks of heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, and death.
Wow, how do you recruit people for a study like that? It would hard to convince me either to completely abstain or to drink every single day for six years, much less to have one of those randomly chosen for me.
