If you decide to have an alcoholic drink, limiting yourself to one a day is best — for both men and women — according to new advice from nutrition experts.
This just in, and it’s definitive : People who drink alcohol in moderation — especially older people, women and non-Latino white people — are less likely to die of any cause than are teetotalers or people who consume heavy doses of alcohol either on occasion or in an average week.between drinking habits and all causes of death, including heart disease, cancer and car accidents, rather than a specific physical harm that alcohol might have.
With alcohol, Naimi said, two drinks a day were associated with an increased risk of death compared with one drink a day. He said the increase was modest but notable enough for the committee to recommend updating the advice.Whether the proposed new advice would influence behavior isn’t clear. Many Americans already exceed the current advice on alcohol limits, Naimi noted.
The report noted that the guidelines might be aspirational but were important for “stimulating thought around behavior change.” The guidelines are based on the overall health of a population, and an individual’s risk from drinking can vary depending on a variety of factors and health habits, saidMozaffarian also noted that many people misinterpreted the current advice to mean they should have one or two drinks a day. The limits are meant for people who already drink. The guidelines say that people who do not drink should not start.
