Thinking about a glass of wine a day for a longer life? Well, the long-held notion that moderate alcohol consumption boosts longevity may be misleading, as researchers have found that no amount of alcohol is truly safe for health benefits.
Many studies have suggested that moderate drinkers enjoy longer lives and reduced risks of heart disease and other chronic conditions compared to abstainers. However, a new report published in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs that analyzed 107 studies on drinking and lifespan revealed that such studies often suffer from underlying design flaws.
