Casual drinker? You still have a 1 in 25 risk of dying, study says

A large-scale review analyzing more than 7,200 studies on alcohol-related disease indicates that casual drinkers face a 1 in 25 risk of dying. These specific findings are reported to be at odds with existing federal health guidelines. The research emphasizes the mortality risks associated with casual alcohol consumption, challenging previous assumptions about the safety of moderate drinking habits as outlined in official health recommendations and guidelines provided by federal authorities.
