Actually, alcohol is regarded as anything other than healthy who drinks a lot, lives shorter, so the General assumption. American scientists make this assumption with your research results on the head. “Late-Life Alcohol Consumption and 20-Year Mortality” is the name of the study from the University of Texas, observed over a period of 20 years, in 1824, alcohol abstinent persons as well as persons who consume alcohol. The surprising result: people who drink alcohol tend to die earlier than occasional users, and even alcoholics. (Also read: Gin, drink right – These are the mistakes you should avoid.)

The results of the study

In the investigation period of 20 years, 69 per cent of all alcohol died abstinent at an early stage. In the case of the occasional users, this was only at 41 percent of the case – and even an alcoholic came away with 60 per cent, a little better than those who refused completely to alcohol. (Also read: cigarettes, alcohol, or coffee? This disturbs the sleep the most.)

In order to achieve representative results, the study examined 1824 participants, and take into account relevant factors such as exercise habits, income, and the General satisfaction of the participants.

Alcohol promotes social life

Presumably this surprising result is due to the fact that casual drinkers are often in society, and thus a better social life than non-drinkers. Other studies showed a relationship of abstinence, and frequent depression.

Moderate alcohol consumption is for adults, according to the study therefore recommended for a long and healthy life. However, the researchers of the study make it clear that alcohol was sure to enjoy in moderation.
