If you unwind each evening with a glass (or two) of wine with dinner, you might be doing more than just improving your night’you could also be improving your quality of life.
A study at the Boston University School of Medicine found that middle-aged adults who drink in moderation ranked better in four categories used to measure quality of life, reports the Irish Independent.
The study examined 5,404 Canadians, age 50, and found that those who drank moderately ranked higher in dexterity, emotion, cognition and mobility than those who did not.
“Overall, this study shows a positive relation between regular moderate alcohol intake and quality of life in middle-aged adults,’ the authors wrote.

What do you think? Do you drink wine every day? Do you feel like it improves your quality of life?
