Ever Dreamed of Drinking for Free?

Imagine enjoying your favorite drink every day without spending a cent! Researchers at the University of Navarra in Spain are making this astonishing opportunity a reality. They're on the hunt for 10,000 volunteers to participate in a groundbreaking study to explore the health impacts of moderate alcohol consumption over four years.

Are You Ready to Raise a Glass for Science?

As excitement brews, around 4,000 participants have already signed up, but they need more! If you're between the ages of 50 and 75, you could be one of the lucky ones chosen for this unique experience.

What's the Study All About?

Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will indulge in moderate drinking – that means around seven drinks a week for women and 14 for men. The other group will be the sober squad, completely abstaining from alcohol for the study's duration. While participants can’t pick their poison, they’ll all be contributing to valuable research!

Aiming for Breakthroughs in Health Research!

The research, backed by a hefty 2.4 million euros from the European Research Council, seeks to distinguish the long-term effects of moderate drinking versus total abstinence in older adults. Dr. Patricia Romero-Marco, part of a dedicated team of 500 researchers, calls this study "groundbreaking," promising to shape future recommendations for alcohol consumption.

Health Comes First!

Participants won’t just be sipping cocktails for science; they'll also receive comprehensive healthcare throughout the study. On-site doctors will hold regular check-ups to ensure everyone's well-being.

Join the Party!

So, if you’re looking for a unique way to contribute to scientific advancement while enjoying life, this study is calling your name! It’s not just about pouring drinks; it’s an opportunity to enrich your golden years with care, support, and maybe just a touch of tipsiness. Cheers to science!
