Doctors have long recognized that alcohol addiction is a disease and should be treated strictly under the supervision of doctors in specialized institutions. Alcohol has a detrimental effect on the human body, which ultimately contributes to the emergence of serious health problems. One of the dangers of inveterate drinkers is early heart attack and stroke. <\/p>\n\n

People who regularly drink more than three drinks a day are 14 years earlier at risk of dying from a stroke than non-drinkers. Alcohol dependence is linked to stroke caused by bleeding in the brain. <\/p>\n\n

Charlotte Cordonnier, a medical doctor at the University of Lille, examined the records of more than half a thousand stroke patients, with an average age of 71. The records included information on alcohol consumption. <\/p>\n\n

The experiment showed that a quarter of respondents who abused alcohol were much more likely to have a stroke. For a complete picture, respondents underwent brain tomography. The results of the study showed that those who drank 50 grams of alcohol daily had a stroke at age 60. Non-drinkers had it 10 years later. <\/p>\n\n

According to research by Korean doctors, people who regularly drink alcoholic beverages have a high risk of death from a heart attack. Scientists have found that men with high blood pressure who drank 6 servings of alcohol daily had a 4-fold higher death rate from a heart attack than teetotalers. Accordingly, regular consumption of 12 servings of alcohol per day increased the risk of death from a heart attack by up to 12 times. <\/p>\n\n

In men with hypertension who regularly consumed more than 6 servings of alcoholic beverages at a time, the risk of a fatal outcome from a heart attack was 2 times higher than in patients with normal blood pressure. The study involved more than 6 thousand respondents aged 55 years, observations lasted for 20 years. The lowest percentage of heart attacks, as expected, was in non-drinkers and people who do not suffer from hypertension, only 0.2% per year. For comparison, in men who regularly drink alcohol and suffer from hypertension of the 3rd degree, this figure was 27%. <\/p>\n\n

These studies are figures worth pondering, because a simple way to avoid the risk of early heart attack and stroke is to give up regular alcohol consumption.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
