Risk tied to drinking three or more bottles of vodka a week
However, the risks of early death are still substantial. The new study, which is published in The Lancet, recorded for up to a decade the vodka-drinking habits of 151,00 Russians. By the end of the study period, 8,000 of the participants had died.
The study found that men who drank three or more bottles of vodka a week were much more likely to die than men who drank less than one bottle each week.
The risk of death for men aged between 35 and 54 who drank three or more half-liter bottles of vodka a week was 35%. Men who drank less than one bottle in the same age group had a risk of death of 16%.
Between the ages of 55 and 74, the risk of death for the heavier drinkers was 64%, and 50% for the men who drank less than one bottle a week.
The main causes of death among the heavy drinkers were alcohol poisoning, accidents, violence, suicide, throat cancer, liver cancer, tuberculosis, pneumonia, pancreatitis, liver disease and heart disease.
