New U.S. Guidelines May Limit Beer Intake to Two Per Week
The US federal government is considering new dietary guidelines that may recommend limiting alcohol consumption to two beers per week, influenced by Canadian researchers who advised similar guidelines. This potential change has sparked debate, with some lawmakers questioning the impartiality of the advisory panel, which includes members with anti-alcohol views. The guidelines, set to be finalized by 2026, will be based on scientific studies assessing the health risks of alcohol, amid growing evidence linking even moderate consumption to various health issues.
