Study reveals heightened heart disease risk in women with high alcohol consumption

Research indicates women who consume more than eight alcoholic beverages weekly face a significantly increased risk of developing coronary heart disease.

A recent study presented at the American College of Cardiology's Annual Scientific Session shows women consuming over eight alcoholic beverages a week are at a higher risk of heart disease.
The risk of coronary heart disease escalates with higher levels of alcohol intake, especially among young to middle-aged women.
Binge drinking, defined as consuming more than three drinks in a day for women, substantially increases the risk of heart disease.
The study, one of the largest of its kind, used data from over 430,000 individuals, highlighting the strong link between alcohol consumption and heart disease in women.
Researchers emphasize the need for greater awareness and inclusion of alcohol use in routine health assessments to mitigate heart disease risks.
