A new report reveals the complex health effects of moderate drinking, defining it as up to one drink per day for women and two for men. Although moderate drinkers may have lower rates of death from all causes and cardiovascular issues, scientists caution against recommending alcohol for health benefits due to uncertainties in the research. Heavy drinking significantly increases health risks, and any benefits from moderation can disappear in individuals who consume alcohol excessively. The findings will influence the upcoming 2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
"Heavy drinking is unhealthy. Men who have more than two drinks per day and women who have more than one face increased risks of heart attacks and strokes."
"While moderate drinking might offer some health benefits, it’s crucial to understand that any benefits can be negated by heavy drinking."
