Beer, the beverage of choice of young American males, appears to take a back seat to wine as those young males become less young, according to research conducted at Boston University. Science Daily reports that BU researchers examined 8,000 records of the Framingham Heart Study, the

hard liquor use has remained fairly constant. More people now report
that they are non-drinkers, and younger people drink
more moderately than older people. Read more in Science Daily.
