WHY? –
June 8, 2026 – Researchers found no clear health benefit from low-level alcohol consumption and concluded that both men and women should limit intake to no more than 1 drink per day. The study concludes that the risk of alcohol-related death begins at lower levels of consumption than previously suggested by federal guidelines. The research, published on June 8 in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs, estimated that the risk of death and other health risks begins with relatively small quantities. Researchers concluded that current U.S. alcohol guidance should recommend no more than 1 drink per day for both males and females.
