The researchers found that drinkers who consumed less than an ounce of ethanol — the amount of the form of alcohol found in two beers, two glasses of wine and two shots — had no perceptible increase in their lifespan when compared to non-drinkers.
“The paper provides further evidence that the idea there are health benefits from moderate alcohol use is not based on strong science,” lead researcher Dr. Tim Stockwell, a professor at the Canadian Institute for Substance Use Research, University of Victoria, told Fox News.
