Consuming more than one drink a day results in a steep increase of the risk of premature death, according to a new federal review, highlighting how alcohol intake correlates with mortality risk.
In the United States, males and females have a 1 in 1000 risk of dying from alcohol use if they consume more than 7 drinks per week, escalating to 1 in 100 for more than 9 drinks.
Dr. Timothy Naimi emphasized that consuming over a drink a day raises the risk of dying from alcohol above one percent, stressing the seriousness of this public health issue.
The report advocates for reevaluating drinking guidelines based on newfound evidence indicating significant health risks, even suggesting thresholds that may guide future public health regulations.
