- Researchers have published results from a new genetic-based analysis in over 245,000 participants, which suggest that alcohol directly accelerates aging by damaging DNA in telomeres. The study suggests also that a minimum amount of alcohol may be required to damage telomeres (more than 17units/week) https://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2022-07-26-genetic-study-provides-evidence-alcohol-accelerates-biological-aging 34 comments science
