Winos unite!

Red wine might be even better for you than previously thought. The chemical, reservatol, found in small amounts in some red wines helps fight the decline of tissue.

NYT reports

Serious scientists have long derided the idea of life-extending elixirs, but the door has now been opened to drugs that exploit an ancient biological survival mechanism, that of switching the body’s resources from fertility to tissue maintenance. The improved tissue maintenance seems to extend life by cutting down on the degenerative diseases of aging.

Plus, wine gets me fuxed up.
