Enjoying a tipple in moderation may not significantly increase your risk of an early death, a study suggests.
Women may be able to enjoy a large glass of wine a day on average without their risk of dying early significantly increasing, based on a new scientific review by researchers in Canada.
Men may be able to drink almost two large glasses of wine a day on average without having a higher risk of death than non-drinkers.
The findings come from a review of 107 studies including more than 4.8 million people, among whom around 425,000 died during the study period.
However the review authors say the studies included are extremely flawed, and they would still advise that moderate amounts of alcohol still carry small risks for serious diseases such as cancer.

Researchers compared the odds of dying among non-drinkers to the odds of dying for drinkers with low, medium, high or very high alcohol consumption.
