"So alcohol is a social lubricant that brings people together. In the best-case scenario, I don't think you should drink alcohol, but it does allow people an excuse to bond and socialize, and there's probably nothing healthier than having a good time with friends in a safe way, replied Dr. Oz, adding: If you look at the blue zones, for example, around the world where people live the longest, alcohol is sometimes part of their diet."
"Again, small amounts taken very judiciously and usually in a celebratory fashion. So there is alcohol in these dietary guidelines, but the implication is don't have it for breakfast. This should be something done in a small amount, hopefully in some kind of an event that may have alcohol added. But they generally moved away from two glasses for men, one glass for women. There was never really good data to support that quantity of alcohol consumption."
New dietary guidelines flip the traditional food pyramid to prioritize high-quality protein, healthy fats, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. The guidelines advise Americans to reduce alcohol consumption and emphasize moderation rather than endorsing a daily two-drink-for-men, one-drink-for-women rule. The guidance notes limited evidence supporting fixed daily alcohol limits and suggests observed benefits may reflect social connectedness rather than alcohol itself. Small amounts of alcohol consumed judiciously and typically during celebratory social occasions appear in some longevity regions such as blue zones, but the guidance cautions against routine daily drinking and discourages alcohol as a breakfast beverage. The role of industry influence on wording remains uncertain.
