"Women who drink moderate amounts of alcohol don’t gain as much weight in midlife as those who abstain, according to a study released Monday. However, the authors as well as alcohol abuse experts were quick to say that drinking should not be heralded as a new diet nor a path to better health.

The study, to be published today in the Archives of Internal Medicine, is the first to find that alcohol may curb weight gain in women."

Sorry fellas. No joy for you.
