New research reveals even moderate alcohol consumption significantly shortens lifespan and increases cancer risk. Two drinks weekly could reduce life expectancy by 3-6 days, while 35 drinks weekly could lead to a loss of two years. The study highlights a direct link between alcohol intake and cancers of the mouth, throat, liver, and colon. Experts emphasize that the benefits of red wine are outweighed by its harms, recommending abstinence or mindful drinking strategies, especially for men who often face social pressure to drink.
