Consumption of more than 5-6 glasses of wine a week shortens life. This is said by the study of the University of Padova in Italy, which provides clear evidence that claims the symmetry need for alcohol consumption in many parts of the world.
For various countries, the amount allowed or what is called standards is not the same. In the neighboring state of Italy, the guidelines for alcohol consumption recommend lower consumption than 84 grams a week for women and 168 grams for adult males.
The U.S. is recommended that the weekly amount of alcohol not exceed 196 grams, equal to 11 cups per male. The University of Padova study included 19 wealthy states, totaling 599,912
individuals. About half of them, 50% reportedly consume more than 100 grams a week, while 8.4% consumed 350 grams per week.
The study found that those who exceeded 100 grams a day faced a higher risk of Mortality caused by a number of factors. A Comparison of People Who Say They Eat
No more than 100 grams, with those who drink 200 grams or up to 350 grams a week, are found to have a shorter life expectancy, which decreases by about 6 months, 1-2 years or 4-5 years, respectively.
The main message for population health is that if you consume alcohol, drink less because it can help you live after reducing the risk of many cardiovascular diseases”, says Angela Wood, the lead author of the study.
