20、o a lower risk of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease. But recent studies are casting some doubt on that long-held learning. Science now says it depends on your age and drinking habits.A 2017 study of nearly 2 million British with no cardiovascular risk found that there was still a modest benefit in moder

21、ate drinking, especially for women over 55 who drank five drinks a week. Why that age?

Links were found with different forms of cardiovascular disease, with people who drank more than 100 grams per

23、 week having a higher risk of stroke, heart failure.Another 2018 study found that consistently drinking a moderate amount of alcohol, within recommended guidelines, had a protective effect on the heart over time. Unstable drinking habits were associated with a higher risk of heart disease, which the

24、 authors reflected might indicate broader lifestyle changes, such as poor health or stress.

Drinking can also increase the chance you might develop liver, mouth and oral cancers. One potential reason: Alcohol weakens
