For years, many people believed a glass of wine with dinner might actually be good for you.  Just think about all those really old French people drinking wine, living their best life. But a new study says there’s no evidence that any amount of drinking improves your health.

Researchers analyzed U.S. health data and found no health benefit from alcohol at any level of consumption.  Instead, they found the risk of death increases even among people who would be considered moderate drinkers.

For example, men who drink around two alcoholic beverages a day, face roughly a 4% lifetime risk of dying from an alcohol-related illness or injury.

The study also found women face a greater risk of alcohol-related liver disease than men at similar drinking levels.

Researchers say younger adults get no health benefits from alcohol at all, with many alcohol-related deaths tied to car crashes, injuries, and violence.

Based on the findings, the authors recommend limiting alcohol intake to NO MORE than ONE DRINK PER DAY for both men and women.
