WHO warns that if you do not want to go to the group of 5% who die every year, reduce drinking

The number of alcohol-related deaths now falls to about 3 million people globally each year. This is equivalent to 5% of the total number of deaths in the world.

According to a warning from the World Health Organization (WHO), alcohol and alcoholic beverages have caused the deaths of about 3 million people worldwide each year, about 5% of the total deaths worldwide. .

Earlier in the data published in 2016, about 2.3 million deaths were male and nearly 29% of alcohol-related deaths, including traffic accidents and suicide.

Scientists emphasize that the youth group aged 20-39 has the highest risk of death from alcohol , accounting for 13.5% of the total number of deaths from alcohol. In particular, the harmful effects of alcohol have the greatest impact on the poor, who are already without the most adequate medical care.

Young people aged 20-39 years have the highest risk of death due to alcohol.

However, over the years, the alcoholic death rate has decreased significantly, from 5.9% in 2012 to 5.3% and now 5%.

WHO expert Vladimir Poznyak shared that governments have not yet paid adequate attention to limiting alcohol consumption. Although there have been warnings and restrictions on the promotion of alcoholic drinks, it is only a patchy and ineffective measure in the long run. He said that the health burden caused by alcohol is growing to the point of "unacceptable".

Poznyak called on governments to have more effective policies to help reduce excessive consumption of social alcohol, waste and harm people's health.

A recent survey estimates that about 2.4 billion people across the planet are consuming alcohol. About 237 million men and 46 million women are abusing alcohol too much. But the most surprising is the highest consumption of spirits (45%), beer (34%) and wine with the lowest alcohol content (12%).

The opinion about good drinking is good for the medical community and even drinkers may have made mistakes.

According to Dr James Nicholls, director of policy research and development at Alcohol Concern (UK), the consumption of alcohol in Europe is declining but in general, Europe is still a region consuming alcohol. the most in the world. It is also one of the main causes of disease for people here.

A large-scale study recently published in the journal Lancet concluded that the opinion of the moderate level of alcohol consumption by the medical community and the drinker may have been wrong. The main author of the study, Max Griswold asserted: "We found that alcohol has no benefit to your health. The safest level we think is healthy, is to not drink anything. both ".

According to the study, drinking two glasses of alcoholic beverages a day can increase the risk of premature death by up to 7%.
