A study, published in The Lancet, of 600,000 drinkers found that drinking five to 10 alcoholic drinks a week was likely to shorten a person's life by up to six months.
So farking what!
Allegedly this risk increases with higher alcohol consumption, with those who have 18 drinks or more losing up to five years of life.
For every 12.5 units of alcohol people drank a week it raised the risk of:
- Stroke by 14%
- Fatal hypertensive disease by 24%
- Heart failure by 9%
- Fatal aortic aneurysm by 15%
Oh, and for the record, increased risk (from a very low base point) of earlier death is not the same as "direct/certain cause of death".
The effect of this pathetic scaremongering by the ignorant and the bigoted, will mean that "sensible" health warnings and advice will simply be ignored.
The fact is, irrespective of what the "experts" say, people have a right to live their lives however they choose. We are all going to die one day, far better to enjoy your life than add a few months extra to live a miserable existence!
