Watch your drinking. An increase in average annual consumption of alcohol of
one litre per head—equivalent to about one extra beer a week—can
raise mortality rates by 1.3 per cent, according to Minghao Her and Jurgen Rehm
at the Addiction Research Foundation in Toronto. They looked at consumption
levels and numbers of deaths in 25 European countries between 1982 and 1990, and
report their findings in the current issue of Addiction (vol 93, p
1335).
