1 Dan Buettner. The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer from the People Who’ve Lived the Longest. People in all Blue Zones (except Adventists) drink alcohol moderately and regularly. Moderate drinkers outlive nondrinkers. The trick is to drink 1–2 glasses per day (preferably Sardinian Cannonau wine), with friends and/or with food.
