In this new study, the researchers analyzed data from more than 25,800 black adults and more than 126,300 white adults who took part in the National Health Interview Survey from 1997 to 2002. Follow-up lasted through 2006.

Among men, the lowest risk of death was among whites who had 1 to 2 drinks a day 3 to 7 days a week, and blacks who didn't drink.[...] For women, the lowest risk of death was among whites who had 1 drink a day 3 to 7 days a week, and blacks who had 1 drink 2 or fewer days a week.

The study was published online April 23 [2015] in the American Journal of Public Health.
