Drinking alcohol can put you at risk of developing 60 diseases and conditions, including many which were never previously linked boozing - a recent study has found. The consumption of alcohol accounted for in the region of three million deaths worldwide across 2016, and as part of a major study in China, researches have took it upon themselves to analyse the risks regarding boozing.
The harmful effects of binge drinking for certain diseases - including the likes of stroke, cirrhosis, and several types of cancer - are well known, but only a few studies have looked at the major impacts alcohol has on developing an extensive range of diseases and conditions.
Collaboratively, Oxford Population Health and Peking University last month published a brand-new study centred around the long-term health effects of consuming alcoholic beverages. Assessing information from China's Biobank systems, researches determined that 'among men, alcohol intake was associated with 61 diseases, including 33 not defined by the World Health Organization as alcohol-related'.
