People Who Don't Drink Alcohol Are More Likely To Die Young

A newly released study shows that regular
drinkers are less likely to die prematurely than
people who have never indulged in alcohol. You
read that right: Time reports that abstaining
from alcohol altogether can lead to a shorter life
than consistent, moderate drinking.
Surprised? The tightly controlled study, which
looked at individuals between ages 55 and 65,
spanned a 20-year period and accounted for
variables ranging from socioeconomic status to
level of physical activity. Led by psychologist
Charles Holahan of the University of Texas at
Austin, it found that mortality rates were highest
for those who had never had a sip, lower for
heavy drinkers, and lowest for moderate
drinkers who enjoyed one to three drinks per
day.

Of the 1,824 study participants, only 41 percent
of the moderate drinkers died prematurely
compared to a whopping 69 percent of the
nondrinkers. Meanwhile, the heavy drinkers
fared better than those who abstained, with a 60
percent mortality rate. Despite the increased
risks for cirrhosis and several types of cancer,
not to mention dependency, accidents, and poor
judgment associated with heavy drinking, those
who imbibe are less likely to die than people
who stay dry.

A possible explanation for this is that alcohol can
be a great social lubricant, and strong social
networks are essential for maintaining mental
and physical health. Nondrinkers have been
shown to demonstrate greater signs of
depression than their carousing counterparts,
and in addition to the potential heart health and
circulation benefits of moderate drinking
(especially red wine), it also increases
sociability.

While it’s always important to drink responsibly,
this is one study that warrants raising a glass.
