People who drink moderate amounts of either coffee or alcohol and who pack on a few extra pounds in their 70s tend to live longer than their peers who don’t, according to a new study.

The team found that those who abstained from either drink lived shorter lives on average than those who indulged — in moderation — in coffee and booze.
