Limit Alcohol To One Drink a Day – Study

Current U.S. guidelines recommend no more than seven drinks a week for women, but 14 drinks a week for men, the Associated Press reported.

A 40-year-old man who drinks as much as the U.S. guidelines allow could expect to live one to two years less than one who has a maximum of seven drinks a week, according to the study in the Lancet medical journal.

The researchers analyzed 83 studies that were conducted in 19 countries and included nearly 600,000 people who drank alcohol.
