Researchers are recommending people have no more than one alcoholic drink per day, after finding no protective impact of alcohol consumption on health.
The risk of death attributable to alcohol was at least one in 1,000 among men and women who consume more than seven drinks a week, and increased to one in 100 for consumption exceeding 8.5 drinks per week, Katherine Keyes, an epidemiology professor at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health, and coauthors said in the new paper.
