Experts show how much alcohol a day shortens their lives

Dr. Tim Stockwell, a scientist at the Canadian Institute for Substance Research, told the Daily Mail that average consumption of two drinks a week throughout life could cut a person's life by 3 to 6 days.

One drink a day, seven a week, can reduce life expectancy by two and a half months.

Regular alcohol consumers, who consume about 35 drinks a week, can cut down on life by approximately two years, according to Stockwell's research.

These findings contradict the popular notion that moderate consumption of alcohol - especially red wine - is beneficial to health. Stockwell, who was once a supporter of moderate consumption, changed his attitude after discovering shortcomings in previous medical research.

A Stockwell-led met-analysis, which revised over 107 studies from the past four decades, concluded that no amount of alcohol improves health and can increase the risk of death from any cause.

Alcohol has been shown to harm various organs, including the brain, heart, liver, and panchreas. It can increase blood pressure, contribute to heart disease, interfere with the absorption of nutrients, and suppress the immune system.
