No safe level of alcohol consumption, major study concludes
Tehran (KNA) - 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 per cent of men and 2 per cent of women every year, and drinking is the leading cause of death and disability for people aged 15-49.
Though previous research has shown moderate levels of drinking may protect against heart disease, the new study concluded any supposed boosts to health are massively offset by the costs.
