Lancet study: "..the safest level of (alcohol) drinking is none."
The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2016 report just published in Lancet included an interesting observational epidemiological study assessing the public health impact of alcohol, which found that the safest level of drinking is none. Here's the conclusion from that report
Quote:
Alcohol use is a leading risk factor for disease burden worldwide, accounting for nearly 10% of global deaths among populations aged 15–49 years, and poses dire ramifications for future population health in the absence of policy action today. The widely held view of the health benefits of alcohol needs revising, particularly as improved methods and analyses continue to show how much alcohol use contributes to global death and disability. Our results show that the safest level of drinking is none. This level is in conflict with most health guidelines, which espouse health benefits associated with consuming up to two drinks per day. Alcohol use contributes to health loss from many causes and exacts its toll across the lifespan, particularly among men. Policies that focus on reducing population-level consumption will be most effective in reducing the health loss from alcohol use.
Here's a link to the BBC report on the study, which has some useful background and commentary: https://www.bbc.com/news/health-45283401

And, finally, here are a couple of critical commentaries, one from Cambridge University's David Spiegelhalter discussing the absolute risk associated with moderate drinking and alternative interpretations of the study results: https://medium.com/wintoncentre/the-...n-2ae8cb006a4a
and another from HealthNewsReview reviewing important limitations in observational research: https://www.healthnewsreview.org/201...el-of-alcohol/

If you completely cut alcohol from your diet, think about how much more barbecue you could buy.

In addition to being pleasurable for many, alcohol has some good health benefits for certain conditions like ischemic heart disease and diabetes, but on average those get far outweighed by the detrimental effects of alcohol in regard to cancer, self-harm, and other conditions...at least, that's the conclusion of this study, which took account of various findings of earlier studies in regard to the benefits and harms of alcohol in regard to each of over twenty health conditions . The Global Burden of Disease reports are well-regarded. Here's a link to their website: http://www.healthdata.org/gbd

And many studies cite the one drink a day positives such as lower blood pressure and increasing antioxidants.

I’m using those studies over this.

**** you OP!

I don't even drink and I think this is dumb. You can replace the word alcohol in the article with 75% of human consumption and activity and get the same result.

It's well documented that every person thats lived to be over 100 years old was an alcoholic at one point. They didn't publish that part.

You've certainly never had an issue with your arrogance ameliorating your ignorance.
