Wine, beer or liquor: Study finds one drink is linked to lower risk of death than others

Not all types of alcohol are created equal — and a new study suggests that wine may carry lower health risks than beer or hard liquor.

In a March 19 news release, the American College of Cardiology outlined findings from the research, which analyzed how alcohol type and intake levels impact the risk of death.

The study, to be presented at the American College of Cardiology's Annual Scientific Session from March 28–30, followed more than 340,000 British adults between 2006 and 2022.
