英国政府专家：红酒有害健康

A source said: "The report will send a clear signal that the dangers of drinking are far more than previously thought."

一名消息人士称，该报告将释放一个明确的信号：饮酒危害远远超过人们此前的想象。

The review was launched in 2012 and its findings are expected to reflect the latest research that links even occasional alcohol consumption to health problems in later life.

此次对酒精危害的重新评估始于2012年，其评估结果将与近期的其他研究结果呼应。其他研究也认为，偶尔饮酒也可能引发未来的健康问题。

The Government currently advises men do not drink more than three to four units per day - up to 21 units or less per week - while women should drink no more than two to three units a day, or 14 units per week.

英国政府目前的建议是：男性每天饮酒不宜超过三至四个酒精单位，每周饮酒量应低于21个酒精单位；女性每天饮酒不宜超过两至三个酒精单位，每周饮酒量应低于14个酒精单位。

Under the new guidelines the gender difference will be thrown out and drinkers will be to keep off the booze for at least two days a week in order to allow their livers to recover.

而新的饮酒指南则认为：无论男女，饮酒者每周至少要有两天远离酒精, 使受伤的肝脏得以恢复。

A recent study by University College London found patients who gave up for four weeks saw benefits for their liver function, blood pressure and cholesterol levels and were also at lower risk of developing diabetes and liver disease.
