Giving up drinking completely is the only way to avoid the health risks associated with alcohol, according to a major new study. Alcohol-related problems kill around 7 percent of men and 2 percent of women every year, and drinking is the leading cause of death and disability for people aged 15-49. The researchers covered 195 countries between 1990 and 2016 and collected data from hundreds of other studies. http://abcstrength.com/2018/08/25/drinking-alcohol-is-unsafe-global-study-finds/ |

http://abcstrength.com/2018/08/25/drinking-alcohol-is-unsafe-global-study-finds/ “With the largest collected evidence base to date, our study makes the relationship between health and alcohol clear – drinking causes substantial health loss, in myriad ways, all over the world,” said Dr. Max Griswold from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, one of the study’s lead authors. They estimated that one drink a day increases the risk of developing an alcohol-related disease including heart diseases, cancer, diabetes, and tuberculosis by 0.5 percent. This shot up to 7 percent for those having two drinks a day, and 37 percent for five drinks. |

The findings emerge after another report found the drinks sector in the UK relies on people drinking above government limits for nearly 40 percent of its revenues. Official guidelines currently state that to keep alcohol health risks low, it is safest to avoid consuming more than 14 units a week – about seven pints of lager – on a regular basis. However, the UK’s chief medical officers have previously stated that despite this allowance, there is “no safe level of alcohol consumption” – a point that has been reinforced by this study “There is a compelling and urgent need to overhaul policies to encourage either lowering people’s levels of alcohol consumption or abstaining entirely,” said Dr. Emmanuela Gakidou, who also worked on the new research. http://abcstrength.com/2018/08/25/drinking-alcohol-is-unsafe-global-study-finds/ |

“The myth that one or two drinks a day are good for you is just that – a myth. This study shatters that myth.” The findings were broadly welcomed by scientists and NGOs as a decisive statement on the impact drinking has on society. The authors of the research, published in the journal The Lancet, noted their efforts did not take in all aspects of alcohol consumption. Ample data were not available for alcohol-related violence and traffic accidents, or for the illicit production and consumption of alcoholic drinks. The findings have ramifications for public health policy and have prompted calls for government action to make a serious dent in the population-level consumption of alcohol. http://abcstrength.com/2018/08/25/drinking-alcohol-is-unsafe-global-study-finds/ |
