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.

The Democrats are the mob, so it is understandable that they will enact things which will benefit organized crime.
I will not comply. Period!
Remember when New York Mayor Bloomberg wanted to regulate the serving sizes of Cokes and Pepsis? People would not tolerate that back then. Now, with multiple Obama style Judges in place, it would be a snap to approve all manner of Nanny laws meant to limit our choices. In some states like mine (Ca) they have already taken our menthol cigarettes away “for our own good” doncha know.
When are they going to urge people to stop drinking soda? Eating twinkies?
What causes more problems? Those things? Or six ounces of red wine a day?
The irony is that Trump never said boo about what people drank and he isn’t a drinker and talked to his kids about how he didn’t want them drinking.
No something much more severe...
Menthol gone in MA also.

I'm not saying men are perfect either. We tend to kill each other in wars. Hitler vs Stalin is the best known example.
I’m pretty sure that’s a gag picture.
Who'll be buying it? Is just walking out with it still on the table? Asking for a friend.
Cut off the EBT cards from soda and chips, first.
Lady Nancy Astor: Winston, if you were my husband, I'd poison your tea.
Churchill: Nancy, if I were your husband, I'd drink it.
I’m gonna go down in the basement (if I had one) and enjoy a cold Koob.
But it’s okay to weight 350lbs. and mooch off of state funds for food and insulin. Can’t have that beer, though!
The bad news is the two beers will be... “ Bud Lite”!
