More info Currently, men and women have to wait until age 66 before claiming their state pension . That will rise to 67, between 2026 and 2028.

Ministers had considered bringing that timetable forward to 2037 or even 2034 , but were deterred by fears of a backlash from middle-aged voters with an election looming.

Cambridge University scientists say those two factors combined with a love of wine might have been the fatal combination. Lead scientist Tristan Begg said: “We can surmise from Beethoven’s ‘conversation books’, which he used during the last decade of his life, that his alcohol consumption was very regular, although it is difficult to estimate the volumes being consumed. “While most of his contemporaries claim his consumption was moderate by early 19th century Viennese standards, there is not complete agreement among these sources, and this still likely amounted to quantities of alcohol known today to be harmful to the liver. “If his alcohol consumption was sufficiently heavy over a long enough period of time, the interaction with his genetic risk … [Read more...] about Beethoven may have drunk himself to death, scientists say after studying composer’s hair
