A new study by Kaiser Permanente Northern California shows a 68% higher risk of coronary heart disease in women who binge drink. Dr. Jamal Rana explains that while alcohol has been thought to benefit the heart, new evidence challenges this idea.
Researchers analyzed data from 430,000 adults aged 18-65 without prior heart disease. Women with high alcohol intake but no binge drinking had a 45% increased risk, while binge-drinking women faced a 68% higher risk.
