A study just for me:
Women who drink moderate amounts of beer may be strengthening their bones, according to Spanish researchers.
Their study of almost 1,700 women, published in the journal Nutrition, found bone density was better in regular drinkers than non-drinkers.
But the team added that plant hormones in the beer rather than the alcohol may be responsible for the effects.
Experts urged caution, warning that drinking more than two units of alcohol a day was known to harm bone health.
Me, I like to share a beer with hubby before dinner, and have a small sip of red wine during dinner. I think I’ll keep it up. Cheers!

Hmm. Does cider count?
