«For the first time, our study points to a risk difference between
drinking daily and
drinking five or six days a week in the
general male population, since earlier studies were conducted on alcohol misusers and patients referred for liver disease and compared daily
drinking to «binge
pattern» or «episodic»
drinking,» observed lead investigator Gro Askgaard, MD, of the Department of Hepatology, Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet, and the National Institute of Public Health, University of Southern Denmark, Copenhagen, Denmark.
