Data show alcohol consumption on the rise during the coronavirus pandemic.

Men should consume no more than one alcoholic drink a day, according to a federal committee’s recommendations for new U.S. dietary guidelines.

That’s a reduction from the current recommended limit of two drinks a day, and matches the guidance for women. The shift reflects scientists’ evolving thinking on moderate drinking, and comes as a 20-year rise in Americans’ drinking is accelerating during the pandemic.Earlier research linked moderate drinking to a lower risk of heart disease. But many health experts now say some of those studies are flawed, and that there’s more and better evidence showing wider health risks of alcohol.

“ U.S. Department of Agriculture and Department of Health and Human Services are set to review the recommendations and issue the final guidelines by the year’s end. ” “We looked at deaths from cancer, cardiovascular disease, and more than 60 alcohol-related conditions,” says Timothy Naimi, a physician and alcohol researcher at Boston University who served on the federal committee. “Whatever kind of study you look at, two drinks a day is associated with a higher risk of death than drinking one drink a day.
