Alcohol can negatively affect your health in several ways, but middle-age drinkers aren't very concerned about the risks. They are more worried about their reputation, according to a new report.

Researchers from the University of Adelaide in Australia recently conducted a study, published in the BMC Public Health journal, to explore drinking patterns among “non-problematised” middle-age adults. 

To do so, they examined nine previous assessments from Britain, Austria, Japan and Norway and investigated how drinking is influenced by four essential themes: gender, play, identity, and learning to drink.
