Americans may be urged to drink no more than one or two beers weekly as part of stricter new alcohol guidelines.
President Biden's alcohol czar, George Koob, the director for the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAA), told Dailymail.com that the USDA could change its Alcohol laws to match Canada, where people are advised to drink that drink per week.
He said: "If there are health benefits, I think people will start evaluating where we're at (In the US).
" Currently, the US recommends that women have up to one bottle of beer, a small glass of wine, or a shot of spirits a day, while men can have up to two. The US guidelines also say a drink is defined as containing 0.6 fluid ounces of alcohol, equivalent to one beer, one glass of wine at 12 percent alcohol, or one shot.
"I mean, they're not going to go up, I'm pretty sure," Koob said. "So if (Alcohol consumption) goes in any direction, it would be toward Canada."
While many believe that alcohol is good in low dosages, Dr. Koob said there are no benefits to physical health from drinking alcohol. "Most of the benefits people attribute to alcohol, we feel they really have more to do with what someone's eating rather than what they're drinking," he explained. "So it really has to do with the Mediterranean diet, socio-economic status, that makes you able to afford that kind of diet and make your own fresh food and so forth.
