A new draft report from a U.S. Health committee links just one drink a day to increased risks of liver cirrhosis, oral cancer, and esophageal cancer, showing that even moderate alcohol consumption has serious health risks.
Surgeon General Vivek Murthy has argued for alcohol labeling to indicate cancer risks, reinforcing that current perceptions of moderate drinking as harmless are misguided.
While moderate alcohol intake may lower risks of ischemic stroke and diabetes in certain populations, these benefits can be offset by higher consumption rates and associated health risks such as liver disease.
The World Health Organization unequivocally states that no level of alcohol consumption is safe for health, highlighting the dangers posed even by low levels of intake.
