00:00Happy Friday. Who is planning to hit happy hour today? I could certainly be persuaded, but what to drink?
00:07Well, a new study says that your choice of beverage can impact your health differently.
00:12In other words, not all alcohol is created equal.
00:14The American College of Cardiology says new analysis suggests that wine carries lower health risks than beer or hard liquor.
00:22The study followed more than 340,000 British adults between 2006 and 2022.
00:27It found that moderate wine drinkers, moderate being the operative word here, had a 21% lower risk of dying
00:34from cardiovascular disease compared to people who never drank or only occasionally partook.
00:39It suggests drinking wine is good for you.
00:43This is what I am talking about, people.
00:46My martini and IPA lovers, however, I am sorry.
00:49In contrast, even low levels of hard liquor, beer, or cider consumption was associated with 9% higher risk of
00:55dying.
00:55But high alcohol intake from any of these drinks was associated with a 24% increased risk of death from
01:03any cause.
01:04So, just like all the ads say, please drink responsibly.
