This Is Not to Say That Drinking Is, Itself, Exercise
Sometimes research goes all counter-intuitive on you:
According to a new University of Miami study published in the September/October issue of the American Journal of Health Promotion, the more people drink, the more likely they are to exercise.
“Alcohol users not only exercised more than abstainers, but the differential actually increased with more drinking,” said lead author Michael French, a professor of health economics, in a news release issued by the Center for Advancing Health. “There is a strong association between all levels of drinking and both moderate and vigorous physical activity.”
In my experience, the more people drink the more likely they are to sit in front of the television and watch Iron Chef America. But then, my test sample is pretty small.
