So the wealthy have less chance of dropping dead, who'd have thought it?
Also, I fear the "Maintaining a positive mood" bit might be a struggle for some on here. |  |

Love the way the media always manage to highlight the booze related thing to these findings. I would argue that stress, exhaustion, poor health etc have a significant impact on your life, and increases that chances of heart attacks etc.
I’m going to throw it out there that the majority of people drink champagne as part of a celebration or party therefore thechampagne could be linked more with the positive attitude and mood rather than be a direct link to the reduction in sudden cardiac arrest. |  | | |

Or champagne is more likely to be drunk by the wealthy, who have better education, diets, healthcare etc... | |

Agreed. And I am very sceptical about linking the findings to one specific type of alcoholic drink which would appear to me to have no health benefits.
Indeed, it's possible to celebrate with all forms of alcohol, but that doesn't mean alcohol is good for you.
Sounds to me the sort of angle that gets the study good publicity, whilst being rather dubious at the same time. [Post edited 29 Apr 9:28]

The only alcoholic drink I know of that has some health benefits is red wine:
'Red wine is sometimes seen as a healthy choice, particularly as we associate it with the Mediterranean diet. But while it is often included in the traditional diet, it isn’t an essential part and should be drunk in moderation. It contains antioxidants, which reportedly have a range of benefits. However, other foods – including grapes, blueberries and strawberries – provide antioxidants without the negative effects of alcohol.
There is some evidence that a moderate intake of alcohol brings a small reduction in heart disease risk. But this is not the case for other conditions, such as stroke and vascular dementia, and alcohol is linked to some cancers.'
