This Week’s Reader Poll: In response to the May 1st reader poll regarding alcohol consumption, this was one of our most popular polls. Close to 25% of respondents said they have an occasional glass of alcohol, while about 15% of respondents said they have never been alcohol drinkers. The remaining answers were spread out among other response options, including some who no longer drink due to health or substance abuse reasons, and some who consume a drink several times a week or even once a day. When it comes to the drink of choice, there was almost unanimity: Virtually everyone responded that their preference was wine, either red or white, which is interesting, as current data shows that wine consumption continues to drop each year. Given the ongoing controversy about the impact of alcohol consumption on health and well-being, especially the increasing evidence of the direct connection between cancer deaths and alcohol consumption, it’s heartening to know that most agebuzz readers appear to be cautious in their alcohol consumption. While the celebratory or occasional social drink is understandable, it’s important that we all realize that alcohol, despite the pleasures many find in it, can cause serious health consequences as you get older.
