A new study suggests, the more you booze it up, the more your cells age. This results in an increasing of risk for age-related health problems like heart disease, diabetes, cancer and dementia. Researchers studied 134 *******ics between the ages of 41 and 85. They compared them with a control group of people in the same age group who weren't *******ics. DNA samples revealed that the *******ics had shortened telomeres. The study leader, a clinical fellow at the Kobe University Graduate School of Medicine in Japan, says "Telomeres, the protein caps on the ends of human chromosomes, are markers of aging and overall health."
