The Impact of Low to Moderate Drinking on Life Expectancy
Low to moderate volume drinking does not increase mortality risk compared to abstaining but does not offer protection either. Studies show that even low to moderate levels of drinking can significantly decrease life expectancy. For instance, consuming eight drinks per week may reduce life expectancy by around 6 months at the age of 40, compared to those drinking 4 or fewer drinks. The reduction in life expectancy becomes more significant with higher alcohol consumption levels, potentially decreasing by 1-2 years and four to five years with 15 and 26 drinks per week, respectively. Similar effects are seen on healthspan.
