Even a Little Alcohol Can Harm Your Health, New Research Shows
Channel News Asia ^ | 22 Jan 2023

new research shows Recent research makes it clear that any amount of drinking can be detrimental. Here’s why you may want to cut down on your consumption beyond dry January.

Sorry to be a buzz-kill, but that nightly glass or two of wine is not improving your health. After decades of confusing and sometimes contradictory research (too much alcohol is bad for you but a little bit is good; some types of alcohol are better for you than others; just kidding, it’s all bad), the picture is becoming clearer: Even small amounts of alcohol can have health consequences.

Research published in November revealed that between 2015 and 2019, excessive alcohol use resulted in roughly 140,000 deaths per year in the United States. About 40 per cent of those deaths had acute causes, like car crashes, poisonings and homicides. But the majority were caused by chronic conditions attributed to alcohol, such as liver disease, cancer and heart disease.

When experts talk about the dire health consequences linked to excessive alcohol use, people often assume that it’s directed at individuals who have an alcohol use disorder. But the health risks from drinking can come from moderate consumption as well.

Dean Martin to Frank Sinatra in Rat Pack skit onstage:
Dean: “You know, I just drink to forget.”
Frank: “What is it you’re trying to forget?”
Dean: “Dunno. I forgot a long time ago.”

Dean: “I heard from a medical expert that my body’s type of metabolism needs and craves alcohol. I’m okay. But my body is a drunk.”

Still happy to be a teetotaler. Like Trump.

Regardless, meanwhile, MJ is the new big snake oil, as every bit of it is pushed as the cure-all for everything.

History books mentioned the American colonists learned that much of the water was contaminated and unsafe to drink so they substituted beer and wine. “So the Founders of the country were often drunk.”

True today, actually. Parties in DC, the Hamptons or yachts on the East Coast allow adult beverages.

My grandmother lived to be 106—drank and smoked in moderation.

She had the real secret to longevity and was kind enough to share it with me back when I was a teenager:

“Never believe anything they say on TV.”

If you ignore the “experts” you will live long and prosper.
