It's time to pour one out for the myth that a little drink is good for your health. Recent studies are showing that even your casual evening wine might be doing more harm than good. With a history of mixed messages about alcohol's effects, the latest research is now painting a clearer, albeit more concerning picture: no amount of alcohol is truly safe. The stats are sobering: research indicates that from 2015 to 2019, alcohol was a key player in about 140,000 deaths annually in the U.S. alone. While some of these were due to immediate incidents like accidents, a significant majority were from long-term health issues linked to drinking, including liver disease, cancer, and heart conditions. It turns out, moderate sipping can be just as risky. Thinking of cutting back? You're not alone. The dangers of alcohol aren't just for those with a diagnosed disorder; even moderate drinkers are at risk. With alcohol's ability to damage DNA and increase the risk of chronic diseases, it's worth considering a change. The question isn't if you should drink less, but how much your health can benefit from it.
