Beer or Wine: A major study reveals which beverages carry greater health risks

A new study has found that different types of alcoholic beverages have varying effects on health. The research, based on data from nearly 341,000 adults participating in the UK Biobank between 2006 and 2022, indicates that moderate wine consumption is associated with a lower risk of death compared to other alcoholic drinks like strong spirits, beer, and cider. Moderate drinking of wine was linked to a 21% reduction in mortality risk from cardiovascular diseases, while consuming stronger alcoholic beverages increased the risk by 9%. The study highlights that health risks related to alcohol consumption depend not only on the quantity consumed but also on the type of drink. Researchers suggest these findings could influence future guidelines on alcohol consumption.
