i'll drink to this:

Cider, one of England's oldest alcoholic drinks, has long been thought to be
beneficial to health, but there was never any proof. Now scientists at
Brewing Research International have confirmed high levels of health
enhancing antioxidants in cider, on par with red wine, a drink long
recognised as having health benefits.  A half pint of cider delivers the
same amount of antioxidants as a glass of red wine
