Putting these results in the context of previous work showing the heart benefits of moderate drinking, Katz prefers to look at it this way: "This study suggests that you can probably make room for moderate alcohol consumption and not have it result in weight gain.

European leaders arrived in the Danish capital giving the impression that setting an example would be enough to persuade others into making concessions. But the conference took a different turn. A group of developing countries threatened to walk out. With negotiations on the verge...
