Melbourne, Oct 23: A daily tipple can keep you happy, according to a new study.
Australian Unity Wellbeing Index has confirmed that those who drink one or two glasses of alcohol every day are the happiest people.
It found that happiness levels declined for older drinkers who had more than three drinks in a session, but not for those aged 18 to 26.
It also showed that those who exercise up to three times a week also were relatively happy but those who never drank were among the most miserable, recording "below normal wellbeing".
Sydney, Oct 23: The Australian Federal Police (AFP) have revealed that a search of Dr Mohamed Haneef''s apartment shortly after he was arrested from Sydney last year had found some “jihadist” materials, including a brochure from a proscribed terror organisation and an inflammatory lecture by an al-Qa''ida-linked preacher.
The revelations are contained in the Federal Police''s submission to the Clarke inquiry, which was published on the Internet today, reported news. com. au.

Sydney - Construction worker Aaron Neiswander, who lives at his parents' Adelaide home, is out of work and on welfare.
He's been idle since January despite an unemployment rate at a 30-year low and companies so desperate for staff that even some McDonald's restaurants are staffed with guest workers from abroad.
Neiswander, 26, blames picky employers. "I'm just out of the age group," he said. "People are looking for juniors - they want cheap labour."
As Australia moves from boom to doom, Neiswander's chances of leaving the dole queue grow bleaker by the day. Economists say the unemployment rate is already surging and that the run of
16 straight years of heady growth that made Neiswander so choosey is over.
Sydney - Westfield Group founder Frank Lowy, whose two great loves are making money from building shopping malls and running the game of football in Australia, reckons the global recession will hit professional sport hard.
Attendances will be down, the dollar-value of television broadcast contracts will fall and clubs will struggle to survive as the turnstiles spin more slowly.
"There's only so much money to go around," the country's richest man and the chairman of its Football Federation said. "I think the world will have to contract, so will sport have to contract, it's as simple as that."
But, as other recessions have shown, it's not as simple at that at all.
