Even Low Alcohol Consumption Has A Negative Impact On Overall Health, Researchers Argue
ScienceDaily, 10/26/09
Several studies show that people with low alcohol intake are more highly paid. One common, but untested, explanation for this link is that low consumers spend more time at work and therefore gets better pay due to the protective effect of alcohol on some diseases. "In this study, however, we found that, when including also those diseases where low consumption increases the risk of morbidity and mortality, low–to–moderate alcohol intake actually has a net negative health impact," adding, "It is therefore doubtful if the common explanation of health as the link between alcohol consumption and increased wages is valid in its existing form."
