Science DiscussionsMen drank beer versus all other alcohol types about 50% of the time until they reached the age of 35 years or so. At that time, they began reducing their intake of beer to about 25% by the time they got to be about 75 years of age. Women also reduced their intake of beer at they aged, but the researchers found that women never did drink that much beer at any point on their lives (when compared to men). However, for both men and women, the amount of wine consumed increased (with respect to all types of alcohol) in all of the age categories. The consumption of hard liquor remained essential stable in all categories. The researchers also studied disorders with respect to alcohol drinking. Please read page three for these details. |
