Results During a mean (standard deviation) follow‐up 10.2 (1.5) years, we documented 510 incident cases, (143 Crohn's disease (CD) 367 ulcerative colitis (UC)). Compared non‐consumers, consuming >1 unit per day significantly higher (HR 1.51, CI 1.11–2.05), trend non‐significant ( p ‐trend = 0.170). association significant CD 2.05, 1.22–3.46), not UC 1.31, 0.89–1.92).
