Drinking ten glasses of wine a week can cut life expectancy by two years, a major study says.
Even a daily glass of wine or pint of beer significantly raises the risk of heart disease and stroke.
This likelihood of an early death increases the more alcohol is consumed, the Cambridge-led researchers said.
Experts concluded that, for a 40-year-old, each unit above guidelines takes away, on average, about 15 minutes of their life. That is about the same as smoking one cigarette.
The findings support recently lowered guidelines in the UK, which suggest there is no safe level and recommend that both men and women’s drinking should not exceed 14 units a week.
