We have often said that moderate drinking is
beneficial to your health. Here’s some more new research to back us
up on our facts.
Research has shown that moderate drinkers generally
feel better about their health. The findings apply to those who drink
beer and spirits, as well as wine lovers. Previous studies have suggested
that a daily glass of wine helps people stay healthy. From data collected
from Spain’s 1993 National Health Survey, showed that people who drank
alcohol were less likely to report ill health, rather than people
who abstained all together.
Overall, the higher the consumption of
total alcohol, the lower the levels of subjective ill health. Even
the heaviest drinkers felt happy about their health regardless of
the damage they may be doing to themselves.
Furthermore, research
published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, suggest
that wine and beer drinkers are more optimistic about their health
whatever their consumption. Although heavy spirit drinkers were not
quite as joyful.
To conclude this research, findings should not be
used to promote even the moderate consumption of alcoholic beverages,
as this could lead to a rise in heavy drinking and its associated
morbidity and mortality burden.
