A study found that reducing alcohol consumption from heavy to mild to moderate levels decreased the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events by 23%. Researchers analyzed data from over 21,000 adults in Korea with heavy alcohol intake and monitored changes in their drinking habits over two health examinations. Those who reduced drinking had a lower incidence of cardiovascular events compared to those who continued heavy drinking. The benefits of reducing alcohol intake were consistent across various subgroups. The study suggests that habitual changes in alcohol consumption can lead to lower risk of cardiovascular events, with benefits becoming evident after approximately 3 years.
