A new health study revealed the facts related to alcohol consumption. Quoted by Witn's website, even though consuming only one glass of alcohol remains a risk to overall health.
A study published in The Lancet Medical Journal last week said alcohol was a major factor in premature death and disease. This applies to men and women aged 15 to 46 years around the world.
Research conducted in 2016 said that as many as 2.8 million deaths were attributed to alcohol throughout the year alone. The conclusion of the research funded by Bill and Melinda Gates states that the safest level of drinking alcohol is not consuming at all.
Other studies have shown that drinking a glass of alcohol per day has the potential to increase the risk of developing one of 23 health problems. The increase in risk was measured by 0.5 percent compared to people who did not drink at all.
Increased risk jumped to seven percent for people who drank two glasses of alcoholic beverages per day. Meanwhile, those who are used to drinking five glasses of alcohol per day face a risk of 37 percent.
"Although the health risks associated with drinking a glass of alcohol per day seem very low, the risk has the potential to increase rapidly because people tend to drink more," said Dr. Max Griswold, the study's lead researcher.
