New Report May Completely Change US Guidelines On Alcohol Consumption

Alcohol Consumption and Guidelines (Credit-Canva)

There have been multiple studies that show how alcohol, or wine in some ways can be useful to your body, even healthy in some ways, but one thing that usually goes unnoticed is the ‘more than’ and ‘less than’ aspect of it. 

According to the US guidelines on alcohol consumption, one glass for women and two for men is ok. These guidelines have been based on studies that show the effects of alcohol on the human body with multiple researchers working on them. But in the new research done by <span>National Academies of Sciences</span>, Engineering and Medicine report, commissioned by a government shows that even drinking a small amount of alcohol every day can be bad for your health. The reason why this study is so significant, based on this and other studies, the guidelines on alcohol can completely change! The U.S. general surgeon has also suggested putting labels on the bottles. 

<h2>Are The Previous <span rel="noindex">Studies On Alcohol Not Relevant Anymore</span>?</h2>

You must remember that whether you drink daily, or occasionally, are some things that need to be considered when you are claiming that drinking is ok or not. Other things that might change the way alcohol affects you is how much you have it, are you a daily drinker but drink a glass or half or are you an occasional drinker who drinks limitlessly until they blackout? No matter what kind of drinker you are, you have to keep two things in mind. One, alcohol will affect your system as soon as it enters your body, because it is a strong inflammatory component. Two, when studies say that ‘may cause less effect’ or something similar, you must always take into consideration that it is often comparing extremes like drinking small amounts daily is better than getting blackout drunk occasionally or vice versa. 

<h2>Daily Alcohol Consumption Shows Higher Health Risk</h2>

The report looked at lots of studies and found that drinking daily can increase your chances of getting several serious illnesses. This news is important because it goes against the idea that a little bit of alcohol is good for you. It's crucial to understand these risks so people can make informed choices about their health. The report links drinking alcohol every day to a number of health problems. One major concern is liver cirrhosis, which is severe damage to the liver. Daily drinking also increases the risk of getting different types of cancer, including cancer of the colon, breast, liver, mouth, and throat. Another risk is an increased chance of getting injured, possibly due to accidents or impaired judgment. While some studies suggested a lower risk of a certain type of stroke (ischemic stroke) with moderate drinking, this potential benefit disappears if someone occasionally drinks a lot at once (binge drinking).

<h2>Challenging the <span rel="noindex">Idea of "Healthy" Drinking</span></h2>

Many people have heard that drinking a small amount of alcohol, like a glass of wine with dinner, can be good for their health. However, this new report challenges that idea. Experts are now saying that there isn't really a safe amount of alcohol that is completely without risk. Even small amounts can have negative effects. The report says there's no level of drinking that will definitely make you healthier or live longer. This is a big change from some previous thinking about alcohol and health. 

<h2>Role of <span rel="noindex">Alcohol in Lives Of Young Adults</span></h2>

The report also looked at how alcohol affects teenagers and young adults between the ages of 15 and 20. They found that the more alcohol young people drink, the higher their risk of dying. This is often due to accidents, especially car crashes, and other kinds of injuries. Alcohol-related incidents are a leading cause of death in this age group. This part of the report emphasizes the importance of preventing underage drinking and educating young people about the dangers of alcohol.
