Moderate alcohol intake and mortality

Article Abstract:

A study of 18,244 men living in Shanghai, China, found those ingesting no more than two alcoholic drinks per day reduced their mortality risk by 19%. The middle aged men began the study between 1986 and 1989 and had follow-up for death or cancer reports each year until 1995. Four or fewer drinks per day resulted in a 36% reduction in mortality from coronary heart disease, but had no effect on stroke. The study did not restrict participants to a particular type of alcohol.
