Young adults who have just one drink a day could raise their risk of a stroke by a fifth, experts have warned.
People in their 20s and 30s who drink moderate to heavy amounts of alcohol may be more likely to suffer a stroke than those who drink low or no amounts, according to new research.
A team from Seoul National University analyzed records from a Korean national database for young adults who had four annual health exams and were asked about their alcohol consumption.
Those who drank 105g or more of alcohol per week were considered moderate or heavy drinkers.
This is the equivalent of nearly six pints of medium-strength beer, eight small glasses of wine or around nine large shots of spirits – roughly one drink a day.
Out of the 1.5 million participants, a total of 3,153 had a stroke during the study period of six years.
