The under 40 party is over! According to the latest research reports on alcohol, younger people should avoid alcohol altogether or at most treat themselves to two spoons or a small pint every now and then. People over 40, on the other hand, are allowed to have a drink.
People under 40 should drink significantly less alcohol than previously thought, according to a new study. According to an international team of researchers in the journal The Lancet, drinking more than a small glass of beer a day can be harmful to your health. They recommend an alcohol consumption of two tablespoons of wine or 100 milliliters of beer per day for women under the age of 40. Men under 40 should drink even less.
Two teaspoons of wine
The researchers recommend no more than one shot glass (40 ml) full of beer or two teaspoons of wine per day for men. For those over 40, a drink or two can help prevent heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
“Our message is simple: Young people shouldn’t drink, but older people can benefit from small amounts,” said study co-author Emmanuela Gakidou of the University of Washington. “While it may be unrealistic for young adults to stop drinking, we believe it is important to share the latest evidence so that everyone can make informed decisions about their health.”
The researchers examined the risk of alcohol use for 22 different health outcomes, including injuries, cardiovascular disease and cancer. The basis was the large-scale project Global Burden of Disease (translated: Global Burden of Disease), which systematically collects data on health worldwide.
