What are the effects of alcohol use?

This depends almost entirely on the pattern of alcohol consumption. Moderate drinking, especially when done regularly, is associated with better health and greater longevity than abstaining. However, abusive consumption, particularly when done regularly, tends to increase health and safety risks. Research extending back as far as 1926 has demonstrated that drinking in moderation is associated with better health and greater longevity than is either abstaining or abusing alcohol. The medical research evidence is now unquestionable and demonstrates that the effect is not the result of health-compromised alcoholics who abstain. When studies restrict abstainers to lifelong teetotalers the result is the same. Nor is it the result of moderate drinkers having better overall health habits. When lifestyle factors are taken into consideration, the result remains. And the effect occurs not only for red wine but also for white wine, beer, and liquor or distilled spirits. However, abusing alcohol is associated with health risks.
