Compared with patients who reported no alcohol consumption , those who reported moderate consumption had fewer cardiovascular events ( adjusted hazard ratio [ aHR ] 0.83 ; 95 % CI 0.72-0 .95 ; P = 0.008 ) , less microvascular complications ( aHR 0.85 ; 95 % CI 0.73-0 .99 ; P = 0.03 ) , and lower all-cause mortality ( aHR 0.87 ; 96 % CI 0.75-1 .00 ; P = 0.05 ) .
