A new study shares surprising recommendations for people under age 40.

The study is essentially encouraging young people to put down that gorgeous summer cocktail or delicious beer right this minute.

They shouldn't drink alcohol at all.


People under 40 suffer significant health risks from drinking, according to the research from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington in Seattle.

The research was published on Thursday in The Lancet, a British medical journal.

The health risks associated with imbibing include auto accidents, injury and even murder, according to the study.

Also, those under age 40 receive no health benefits at all from drinking alcohol, the study found.

I'd be surprised if anyone ever bought the argument that alcohol had health benefits.

We all know it's bad for you.

The health impact bits mentioned about this "study" make me laugh:

The health risks associated with imbibing include auto accidents, injury and even murder, according to the study.
LOL. You mean drinking and driving is dangerous because alcohol is a CNS depressant and thus impairs reaction times and judgement? OMG Someone alert the Nobel committee! This is groundbreaking!

Fresh grapes is more essential than rotten ones...
Those health mags and whatever have always promoted a glass of red a day for the heart. Don't think you get the same from grape juice. Probably funded by the wine industry. Cheers.

But, how will them kids deal with all those feelings that gets hurt? Isn't that what the alcohol industry was built upon?

Tbh I think it's more the ugly chicks that are being helped by the beer industry
Dick is an infinite resource: there is enough to go around and there will never be a shortage. There is enough for everyone.
