Extra glass of wine a day 'will shorten your life by 30 minutes'
Drinking will shorten your life, according to a study that suggests every glass of wine or pint of beer over the daily recommended limit will cut half an hour from the expected lifespan of a 40-year-old.
Those who think a glass of red wine every evening will help keep the heart healthy will be dismayed. The paper, published in the Lancet medical journal, says five standard 175ml glasses of wine or five pints a week is the upper safe limit – about 100g of alcohol, or 12.5 units in total. More than that raises the risk of stroke, fatal aneurysm (a ruptured artery in the chest), heart failure and death.
一日あたりの推奨量を、グラス一杯のワイン分超えるごとに、平均余命が30分短くなる。
一週間あたりの安全な飲酒量の上限は、アルコール100g。ワインであれば175mlグラスを5杯くらい、らしい。
…飲酒習慣のある人にとって、週100グラムはだいぶきついっすね…
