Do people that drink alcohol live longer?

The answer is: no

A study published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine found that people who drink alcohol moderately (one to two drinks per day for women, and two to three drinks per day for men) have a lower risk of death from all causes, compared to people who abstain from alcohol. However, people who drink heavily (more than three drinks per day for women, and four drinks per day for men) have a higher risk of death from all causes.
