Even light drinking is harmful to older adults, study warns: 'From the first drop'
Briefly

This new study contradicts the previously held belief that small quantities of alcohol, particularly red wine, are good for the heart, based on flawed evidence.
Rosario Ortolá stated, 'We did not find evidence of a beneficial association between low drinking and [overall] mortality,' indicating alcohol raises risk of cancer from the first drop.
Dr. Amanda Berger emphasized that, 'the new study contradicts decades of robust scientific evidence consistently demonstrating that moderate drinkers live at least as long as non-drinkers.'
The study highlighted that heavy drinking is linked to increased mortality, categorizing over 40 grams daily for men and over 20 grams for women as heavy.
