They suggest that global alcohol consumption recommendations should be based on age and location, with the strictest guidelines for men aged 15-39, who are at the greatest risk of harmful alcohol consumption worldwide.
“Our message is simple: young people should not drink, but older people may benefit from drinking small amounts,” said the senior author, Dr Emmanuela Gakidou, professor of health metrics sciences at the University of Washington’s School of Medicine. “While it may not be realistic to think young adults will abstain from drinking, we do think it’s important to communicate the latest evidence so that everyone can make informed decisions about their health.”
The study, published in the Lancet, found that 59% of those who drank harmful amounts were aged 15-39 – people for whom alcohol provided no health benefit and posed risks, including injuries relating to drinking or car accidents, suicides or murders. Three-quarters of harmful drinkers were men.
Researchers looked at the risk of alcohol consumption on 22 health outcomes, including injuries, cardiovascular diseases, and cancers, using 2020 Global Burden of Disease data.
Using this information, the researchers were able to estimate how much alcohol a person could drink before taking on excess risk to their health compared with someone who did not drink any alcohol.

Fine with me.
And something I share with Donald Trump.
I never understand the obsession with alcohol. Both taste and what it does to you, no thanks.
Lol
I’m 72 and don’t care for it much any more. Maybe a glass of wine now and then or a cold beer with a sandwich.
Cheers!
I got two words for this, and the first one is “Bull”.
If you don’t want to drink alcohol, don’t. No skin off my nose.
If you think these nanny-state bastards are in any way your friends, think again.
The vast majority of activities we humans engage in don’t have any health benefits, we do them because we enjoy them. Watching a football game or spending a day fishing doesn’t have any health benefit either, we do them because a life without enjoyment is a life not worth living. It’s the same with alcohol, I could forgo my favorite scotch but in the end I’ll still eventually end up dead. I’ll have enjoyed my life a lot more in the meantime with my favorite spirits.
Thanks for that!
Many mornings-after in my youth I swore I’d never drink again.
Scary thing is the oldest millenials are 41 now. Youngest around 25.
I believe it was Frank Sinatra who once said, “ I pity the person who doesn’t drink. It must be terrible to get up in the morning and know that’s the best you’re going to feel all day!”
Good thing I’m an old drunk, then.
In other words: youth is wasted on the young.

Depends on how you look at it.

I sing much better, in fact world class, when I’m drinking
