Study of 340k links alcohol type to mortality risk

A large observational study of over 340,000 people reports that the type of alcohol consumed (beer, wine, spirits) is associated with different risks of premature death, including from cancer and cardiovascular disease. The specific findings and effect sizes are not detailed in the source, and causality cannot be established from an observational design. This adds to public-health evidence on alcohol-related harms, potentially influencing future consumption guidelines or labeling.
