"Biden's Alcohol Czar Urges Limiting Weekly Beer Consumption to 2"

The US may revise its alcohol recommendations to match Canada's guidelines, which advise limiting alcohol consumption to two drinks per week. Dr. George Koob, President Biden's alcohol czar, stated that there are "no benefits" to physical health from drinking alcohol and that the perceived benefits are more likely related to factors such as diet and socio-economic status. The US currently recommends one drink per day for women and two drinks per day for men, but this guidance is up for review in 2025. Reports indicate that Americans are consuming alcohol at alarming rates, with childless women aged 35 being the most at risk for binge drinking.
