American biologists have researched patterns of use of alcohol almost 600 thousand people in 19 countries. A new study has shown that alcohol significantly shortens life expectancy.

The results showed that even moderate drinking is not harmless to health. A week can receive no more than 100 grams of pure alcohol, approximately seven standard alcoholic drinks. People who consumed seven to 14 drinks on average lived less than six months. Those who drank 14 to 25 of alcoholic drinks by
