New research shows having an occasional beer or glass of wine may not be so good for you after all.

Scientists looked into previous studies linking moderate drinking to a longer life and found the results may be skewed due to the number of non-drinkers included in the research.

It also showed that among the few studies that did not combine non-drinkers with moderate drinkers in a group, the results failed to show a benefit between a few drinks and longevity in life.
