Title:	Alcohol Linked to 1 in 25 Deaths Worldwide - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/8118475.stm
Description:	According to a recent study, one in every 25 deaths worldwide is linked to alcohol consumption, and men are five times more likely to die from an alcohol-related illness than women. In addition to diseases directly caused by alcohol consumption, like liver disorders, a number of other health effects such as cancer, depression, and stroke have been linked to drinking. Researchers say that while moderate alcohol consumption is believed to have positive cardiovascular effects, the risks of drinking far outweigh the benefits.
