Consuming just one alcoholic drink a day – whether it's a pint of beer, a glass of wine or a glass of your favorite drink – can cut your life expectancy by roughly two and a half months, according to Dr. Tim Stockwell, an expert at the Canadian Institute for Substance Use Research, according to The New York Post.

Stockwell said those who drink significantly more alcohol than that – about 35 drinks a week – can reduce their life expectancy by up to two years.

It's a rude awakening for those who might want to unwind with a glass of wine after a long day, or frequent happy moments with friends or colleagues.

"Alcohol is our favorite recreational drug. We use it for pleasure and relaxation - and the last thing we want to hear is that it can cause harm," he said.

Unfortunately, according to the doctor, no amount of alcohol is safe to drink — and his claims are backed up by science.

"Recent research has shown that drinking alcohol can increase the risk of certain health conditions, such as cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, liver disease, and many others," according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. and Disease Prevention (CDC).

According to the CDC, over 20,000 people succumb to alcohol-related cancer each year in the US, where "moderate" drinking is defined as one drink per day for women – and two drinks per day for men.

Last year, Ireland became the first country to pass a bill requiring alcohol bottles to be labeled with health warnings, while Canada revised its health guidelines that recommended drinking to avoid consuming more than two drinks a week.

Stockwell's research has found a link between alcohol consumption and all-cause mortality, which directly contradicts the widespread belief that "only a small amount of alcohol can be beneficial to health."

While red wine has long been believed to be good for your heart in moderation, this is not necessarily the case, as some research has shown otherwise.

"Being able to drink is a sign that you're still healthy, not the cause of good health," Stockwell said.

"There are many ways in which these studies give false results - which are misinterpreted to mean that alcohol is good for you," he pointed out.
