Casual drinker? You still have a 1 in 25 risk of dying, study says
The researchers say even low alcohol use carries measurable mortality risk and that none is best for avoiding diseases like cancer.
- A new study suggests even casual alcohol consumption poses health risks, contradicting federal guidelines that generally allow for one drink per day.
- The 'less is more' approach to alcohol may be replaced by 'none is best' if you hope to avoid diseases like cancer, according to researchers who found no protective effect from drinking.
- Researchers linked alcohol consumption to increased risks of cardiovascular disease and various cancers, though sticking to the one-drink-a-day rule reduces but does not eliminate the danger.
- Industry groups criticized the study as 'irreparably flawed,' accusing researchers of bias and attempting to undermine established dietary guidelines.
- Federal agencies are reviewing the findings alongside broader scientific evidence to develop updated dietary guidance as debates over alcohol's health role continue.
