Drinking beer daily increases a person’s chances of reaching 90 years. So so says this report published by the Nations online Nigeria.<\/a> Men who consume half a pint of beer a day are 81 per cent likely to reach the milestone age compared to non-drinkers it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It, however, added that women could increase their chances of reaching the tenth decade by a third if they drink a similar amount. Further, men who drink three shots of whiskey or two pints every day are two-thirds more likely to reach 90 than teetotallers( non-drinkers).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Reports online<\/a> and Mirror UK<\/a> also have a similar story reported with them quoting almost the same source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alcohol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Alcohol contains ethanol, a chemical produced by the fermentation of fruits, grains etc. Drinking alcohol affects anyone, but how it affects a person depends on how much you drink, your age, your health, and several other factors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alcohol intake is addictive and highly toxic. Alcoholic beverages often reduce self-consciousness and shyness, encourage actions without inhibition, impairs judgement and eventually promote behaviour individuals may end up regretting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Effects of Alcohol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The health effects<\/a> of alcohol intake vary between individual, age bracket, amount, and also the type of alcohol consumed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
