A study says that consuming alcohol moderately can help fight odds of premature death and add years to life.
Researchers examined health survey data on more than 333,000 U.S. adults, following them for an average of about eight years to see how their drinking habits influenced their survival odds.
Compared with people who never had a drop of alcohol, light to moderate drinkers were more than 20 percent less likely to die early of any cause, or of heart disease in particular, the study found.
Heavy drinkers and binge drinkers, however, were at least 10 percent more likely to die from any cause during the study, and they hdad at least 20 percent higher odds of an early death from cancer in particular.
