Now, the guideline simply advises, "Limit alcohol consumption for better overall health.""
"Dr. Oz spoke about it at the press conference on Thursday: Oz: "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." pic.twitter.com/5wJwMiPzUN- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) January 7, 2026"
"One quote from that speech is going viral, and it's obviously the "don't have it for breakfast" thing. Senator Jacky Rosen replied, "Has he flagged this for @PeteHegseth?""
Federal guidance on alcohol removes numeric daily drink recommendations previously set for men and women. The updated guidance now issues a single directive: "Limit alcohol consumption for better overall health." A public figure described alcohol as a social lubricant that can bring people together, said abstaining is healthiest but acknowledged alcohol can facilitate bonding and that safely socializing with friends can be beneficial. One line from those remarks about not having alcohol for breakfast has gone viral. A senator responded directly to the viral line by asking whether it had been flagged for a named media figure.
