When people think of brandy, Cognac usually comes to mind first. However, perhaps you ought to be thinking of Armagnac instead, as scientists have found evidence that Armagnac specifically helps prevent heart disease and obesity.

Even more interestingly, people who live in Gascony (where Armagnac is made) live five years longer than the average Frenchman despite smoking cigarettes all day.

When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading.
