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.

You’d figure he’d fortify, I mean, win a second term before he started with some of this stuff.
Rational people would say he’s trying to destroy the alcohol/brewing sector of the economy.
People really cannot piece together what hes doing. All according to feminization of schools/dumbing down the schools/war on boys.
Well that should get folks to cut back right?
Not even little Kim in North Korea would do this...
Under these guidelines, Bud Light may be in the top 10 beer sellers again
And the tea totaller faithful will back this 100% because it forces morality on sinners.
Or Xi Jiping in China.
Anheuser Busch can’t win for losing…LOL.
They already tried this with the 18th Amendment, which allowed organized crime to grow and proliferate. Bad move. The 18th Amendment was repealed.
But Biden wants to have Prohibition 2.0, yet is okay with his junkie spawn doing crack and other dangerous drugs.
This guy needs to get the 25th Amendment treatment. He is certifiably nuts.
FJB
I guess women will have to decide whether they want their abortions or want their wine. I think wine and trump will win. Lol
or a hit of crack
hunter’s rules
its like he is not even worried about the election
Love being ruled by a corrupt ingrate.
You can have as much fentanyl as you can hold, however.
When they force their digital money scam on you, they’ll make you don’t buy but one beer a week.
It is insane... Who the hell does this guy think he is? Is it vindictive retribution for the Bud Light boycott? Be just like the childish Democrats to do something exactly like this as payback.
What he is really saying with all of these rules is that we will be living in cages and the ruling class stooges will throw stale bread thru the bars and that will our sustenance. These people are so far gone and will stop at nothing until they are forcefully stopped.

Yep, because this is just the beginning of it. If allowed to fly it is going to snowball into control over everything we drink and eat.
