Around 165,000 people die every year from heart disease linked to alcohol usage.

We reiterate that alcohol offers NO health benefits or protective effects, even at low or moderate levels of consumption, including for heart health.

Sugary drinks and alcohol are not being sufficiently taxed and are becoming more affordable, according to the latest report by World Health Organization (WHO) This fuels obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and injuries, especially among children and young adults.

The World Heart Federation urges governments to implement at least 50% excise taxes on to***co, alcohol, and sugary drinks to fund essential health services and save millions of lives.
