About 1.3 billion people around the world risk their health by taking excessive amount of alcohol, a report by Lancet has revealed. The report, released on July 15, further indicates that 59 per cent of heavy drinkers aged between 15 and 39, exposed themselves to risks such as car accidents, suicide and murders.
It further states that if you are 40 or older, and without underlying health conditions, any small amount of alcohol might reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke and diabetes.
