This reinforces what I've frequently heard about how the people who write headlines are not the same ones who write the articles!
What I read in the article was that the longevity benefits from moderate exercise were twice as much as those from moderate drinking. I also understood that moderate exercise was a prerequisite to getting benefit from moderate drinking. Nice to know, though, that a glass of wine with dinner (or lunch) can be a good thing - as long as we keep moving!
I've heard about this study before, which was the topic of a 60 Minutes program a few years ago. It was conducted at the Leisure World near me - and I think I've met at least one of the participants. Very inspirational!
