A study by the Global Burden of Disease Project found that 1.34 billion people consumed harmful substances
The researchers provided data on the risk of drinking alcohol disaggregated by geographic region, age, sex, and year. The study took into account data on men and women aged 15–95 yearsand older between 1990 and 2020 in 204 countries.
In each region, the study found thatMen aged 15–39 years drink the most alcohol in unsafe quantities. Alcoholic drinks do not provide any benefit. However, the analysis found that for people aged 40 and over, drinking a little alcohol may be beneficial (as long as there are no underlying health conditions).
Scientists also named the maximum permissible amount of alcohol for people aged 15–39 years: it is 0.136 standard drinks per day.
Scientists have identified one standard drink as10 grams of pure alcohol, which is equivalent to a small glass of red wine (100 ml) with an alcohol content of 13%, a bottle of beer (375 ml) of 3.5% strength.
Thus, the optimal daily intake of alcohol for people of different ages is:
men under 39 years old - 10 ml of wine, or 38 ml of beer;
women under 39 years old - 20 ml of wine or 100 ml of beer;
people aged 40 to 64 years - from 50 to 200 ml of wine, depending on their state of health, or 187-750 ml of beer;
people over 65 years old - 300 ml of wine, or up to 1.1 liters of beer.
