At the bottom of the page:
~~ What is already known on this topic ~~
- It is unclear from existing evidence whether the protective effect of moderate alcohol consumption is both real and applicable to older populations
~~ What this study adds ~~
- When compared with self reported never drinkers, protective associations were largely limited to women drinkers aged 65 years or more
- Little to no protection was present in other age-sex groups

I'm not a woman over 65, and I doubt the majority of people on HN are either. The study is still useful, though, since it indicates what not to do for health promotion! Drink alcohol.
Edit: not much markdown works... boo.
- shamney 12y agowhere does it show that moderate alcohol consumption is bad for health promotion??
