JUST HOW MUCH ALCOHOL IS REALLY SAFE TO DRINK?

It was in the early 1990s that researchers and scientists reported that moderate
drinking — for women, one drink a day, for men, two drinks a day — was
associated with a longer life. The reason for the greater longevity was unknown.
Researchers proposed that red wine might have anti-inflammatory properties that
protected cardiovascular health. Although major health organizations and some
doctors always warned that alcohol consumption had a link to higher cancer risk,
moderate drinkers heard the recommendation as encouragement.
In 2023, however, JAMA Network published a report in which scientists reviewed
107 studies conducted across 40 years. They concluded that consuming even a
small amount of alcohol can increase risk to heart health.
SO, NO AMOUNT OF ALCOHOL IS SAFE FOR YOUR HEALTH, BUT JUST HOW BAD IS IT?
If you consider a cocktail with dinner, how great a risk are you taking? How
much do you need to change your behavior? We were once told that drinking coffee
was bad; now that has been reversed. We were also told that eating mostly
protein and fat could be dangerous, but now studies find that ketogenic diets
may be the advisable way to lose weight because they provide better protection
against heart disease than other weight loss diets. We used to hear that
moderate drinking was safe. Now should you order a “mocktail” because it’s safer
for your health than a cocktail?

In 2022, Nature published research stating that consuming as little as one or
two drinks a day (even less for women) was associated with shrinkage in the
brain — normally associated with aging.
Drinking increased substantially during the pandemic, grabbing the attention of
the public, scientists, and the medical community. Nonalcoholic drinks –
so-called “mocktails” have gained such popularity that there are now no-alcohol
drinking establishments. Some former alcohol drinkers are reporting daily
cannabis consumption rather than alcohol.
Some governments are revising their messaging. In 2023, Ireland became the first
country to pass legislation requiring a cancer warning label on alcoholic
products sold there, like those found on cigarettes. Containers will read,
“There is a direct link between alcohol and fatal cancers.”
In Canada, a government-funded organization recently revised alcohol guidelines,
calling one to two drinks a week “low risk” and three to six drinks as “moderate
risk.” The previous guidelines suggested that women have no more than two
standard drinks most days, and that men limit themselves to no more than three
drinks per day. The current guidelines are:
* 0 standard drinks a week – not using alcohol has benefits, including better
health and better sleep.
* 1 to 2 standard drinks a week – you are likely to avoid alcohol-related
consequences at this level.
* 3 to 6 standard drinks a week – your risk of developing several types of
cancer, including breast and colon cancer, increases at this level.
* 7 or more standard drinks a week – your risk of heart disease and stroke
increases significantly at this level. At this use level, each additional
standard drink radically increases the risk of alcohol-related consequences.
The guidelines also recommend that if you drink more than two drinks a week,
make sure you don’t exceed two drinks on any single day — to reduce the risk of
injuries or violence.
In Thailand, the government is in the final stages of drafting a regulation
requiring that alcohol products carry graphic images accompanied by text
warnings such as “alcoholic beverages can cause cancer,” according to The
Bangkok Post.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has reported
that alcohol-related deaths in the United States each year have increased. They
compared data from 2020-21 with data from 2016-17 and found a rise of 29.3%,
which they largely attribute to the pandemic and the greater availability of
alcohol with its recently dropping cost when adjusted for inflation: The last
time a federal tax increase was placed on alcohol was 1991, and taxes on some
alcoholic products were cut in late 2020.
It will be mocktails for me.

I am really skeptical of these alcohol warnings.
I’ve never been much of a drinker, but lately in the summer heat I could
only drink so much water so I started to drink cold beers on a very hot day.
Sapporo or Coor’s Light are my favorites … and they are both fantastic
thirst quenchers on a hot day. I will drink at most 2, and at most once or
twice a week.
My dad is 95 and in very good health, and i think he has drunk alcohol every
day of his life since he was an adult and it was so cool in past. He has
beer with lunch, maybe a beer in the afternoon, a glass of wine with dinner,
and usually a cocktail at night. I could never drink tha much, and often
don’t drink any alcohol in an entire year, but my dad is in very good health
with no cognititive impairment.
Besides the drinking he takes very good care of himself, keeps his weight
down, probabl too low, has high blood pressure and eats very well and gets
appropriate exercise every day. I’ve never been a fan of his drinking, but
he is not a drunk, or sloppy, or violent or abusive, and now I don’t think
he drinks any more in his mid 90’s, not sure, but I know every day of his
life for almost 80 years.
I would suspect that a lot of this is inferential or an exaggeration to
scare people away from alcohol, which I don’t know if it is right or not,
but I suspect it may be other behaviors aside from just drinking that cause
many of these problems? In any case, I don’t drink much if at all except for
a few beers on hot summer say. Good luck all.
