Sidelined Study Reveals Low Alcohol Risks

A study indicating that even low alcohol consumption elevates health risks was published independently after the Trump Administration dismissed the research in formulating new U.S. drinking guidelines.

A new study highlights the health risks associated with even low levels of alcohol consumption. The research, which has now been published independently, was initially sidelined by the Trump Administration.

The study was part of federally commissioned research meant to influence updated U.S. drinking guidelines, but the draft version was not considered by the administration earlier this year.

The full publication in an independent journal has reopened discussions about the guidelines and the implications of alcohol consumption on health.
