Dear MEL Topic Readers,
1 in 5 deaths of US adults 20 to 49 is from excessive drinking, study
shows
What kills Americans the most? Guns, drugs, or driving? A new study
found that excessive alcohol consumption attributes to one in every five deaths
among people aged 20 to 49 years old in the US. These causes of death include not
only alcohol poisoning and alcohol-related diseases like liver disease but
also car accidents. The bad news is that the number has risen in the past
decade. The good news is that these deaths are mostly preventable. If you enjoy
alcoholic drinks casually and in a controlled fashion, say a drink or two a day
or only a few times a week, the risk of such miserable death or disease
can be lowered. It is also beneficial for your weight control as alcohol
contains a lot of sugar. You may want to substitute beer or wine with mineral
or sparkling water but not with sugary drinks like coke. (A can of coke contains
35mg of sugar, which is more than the recommended daily limit of 25 mg).
Enjoy reading the article and learning about how deadly excess alcohol
consumption is.
