The Daily Telegraph of 7th September (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/women_shealth/8744909/Daily-tipple-boosts-health-in-old-age.html)
contained an article on the benefits to women of drinking regularly. And to prove it here is a 1970 photo of my grandmother. She was born in 1891 and so would have been about 80 years old when the photo was taken. She lived for a further eight years – radiant to the end.
