Having a cocktail daily might cause a lower risk of heart failures. The European Heart Journal has recently published a new study with regards to that. About 14,600 people were studied for a period of 24 years. The average age of the subjects was 54. Quite surprisingly, the study found that those who drank moderately had a lower risk of heart failure compared to those who drank heavily or not at all.
Out of the 14,629 people studies, about 2508 cases of heart failure were detected. The researchers had controlled the group for age, smoking habits, hypertension level, race and other determining factors. When compared with abstainers, men who had the habit of having a drink every day, whether it is a glass of wine, beer or a shot of liquor, had 20 percent less chance of heart failure. Women with the same drinking habit had about 16 percent less risk of heart failure. This benefit started declining gradually as the person consumed more alcohol.
However, the senior author of the study warned that these results do not imply that people should increase their alcohol consumption or start drinking. It is certain that people who drink moderately derive some amount of benefits from it, especially among the male population. However, past a certain amount of alcohol intake, the risk of other types of diseases and health issues might arise. Even though a high level of alcohol consumption does not lead to heart failure, exceeding more than 21 drinks per week is associated with a high mortality level from various causes.
