So you know Zimbabwe is having a weird moment about alcohol right.
Well actually mostly about beer and fizzy drinks.
Well for the whiskey lovers, there is some excellent news. Drinking whiskey will make you live a longer, healthier life, and be more creative.
A study was presented to the American Association for the Advancement of Science found a link between whiskey and mortality.
University of California neurologist Claudia Kawas and her team have been studying the lifestyle habits of people who live until their 90s. The group has been researching people of this age group for some 15 years – and they have found that those who drank two units of alcohol every day were less likely to die prematurely.
And wait, there is more. Whiskey contains ellagic acid a powerful antioxidant that can eliminate harmful, cancerous free radicals in the body. Whiskey even contains more of it than red wine, which has always been considered on the ‘healthier’ spectrum of alcoholic drinks.
The risk of heart attack is released by 50% and you are half as likely to suffer from dementia.
And we didn’t need a scientific study for the creativity part. Whiskey inspires ‘Dutch courage’
Which kinda explains some of our beer buddies who tend to be less creative.
But yeah well it is the weekend before work comes back for many folks so, drink away!
