Drinking 1 alcoholic beverage per day shortens your lifespan

Consuming just one alcoholic beverage per day – be it a pint of beer, a glass of wine or a shot of spirit – can shorten your lifespan by about 2.5 months, Dr Tim Stockwell of the Canadian Institute for Substance Use Research told Daily Mail. People who drink about 35 beverages a week could slash 2 years off their lifespan.
