Daily drinking may minimize the risk of diabetes

People who enjoy one beer or glass of wine several days a week may be less likely to develop diabetes than drinkers who tend to have all their cocktails on a Saturday night, a Danish study suggests.

Women, meanwhile, had 32 percent lower odds of diabetes when they spread their cocktails . . .
