  • Do Drinkers Live Longer?

    The issue of whether or not drinking alcohol is beneficial to your health is a contentious one with alot of conflicting research, some suggesting that moderate consumption can extend life by benefiting the heart and others suggesting that there is no safe alcohol levels.

    Moderate drinking which is described as between 2 and 7 glasses of wine a week, has been shown to ward off depression and the same study also revealed that heavy drinking is a risk factor for depression.

    However now there has been a large scale study -The Health and Retirement Study (HRS), described as one of the most indepth studies on alcohol consumption and death risk in the USA, presenting findings of a 16 year follow-up period.

    The results show that moderate and occasional drinkers have lower death rates than non-drinkers.

    The study found that people who didn’t drink at all actually had higher mortality rates.

    A recent poll revealed that 9 out of 10 Australians consider themselves “responsible drinkers”, despite a quarter of respondents drinking to get drunk at least once a month.

    The number of drinkers who drink alcohol to get drunk has significantly increased in the last decade, together with alcohol related harm.

    Experts say people are confused about alcohol risk and are unaware of what constitutes risky drinking.

    The poll released by FARE (Foundation fro Alcohol Research and Education) found that only 31 per cent of people could correctly identify the number of standard drinks a person should consume in order to minimise their long term harm.

    Australian guidelines suggest adults drink a maximum of 2 standard drinks a day to avoid lifetime risk of harm and no more than 4 standard drinks on a single occasion to reduce the risk of alcohol related injury.

    Alcohol abuse is becoming a major concern among the UK armed forces service men and women, according to recent studies.

    Historically alcohol was used to encourage bonding and deal with difficult experiences that service men and women often face and while overall alcohol use is declining, harmful drinking is still double that of the general population.

    According to data 11% or men and 5% of women in the UK armed forces are guilty of alcohol misuse, in other words drinking at a level that is likely to be harmful to their health.This is compared with 4% of men and 2% of women in the general population.

    A recent project – a collaboration between King’s Centre for Military Health Research and University of Liverpool, funded by the Medical Research Council, was meant to determine if an app could also support people in the armed forces to reduce their drinking.

    Researchers developed an app to help people monitor their alcohol consumption and manage it. Users of the app can set goals, compare drinking to civilians and other service men and women.

    It also provides information and support in real time.
