Two Standard Alcoholic Drinks a Day No Longer Safe, Health Officials Say
It is no longer safe to have two standard drinks a day, Australian health officials have warned. From a report: Released just in time for Christmas, the National Health and Medical Research Council on Monday published a draft report which updated Australia's alcohol guidelines for the first time since 2009. The new guidelines warn that adults should have "no more than 10 standard drinks per week" to reduce the health risks from alcohol, or roughly 1.4 drinks a day. The maximum an adult should have on a single day is four standard drinks. The NHMRC's 2009 guidelines stated that "no more than two standard drinks" on any day -- or 14 a week -- reduced the lifetime risk of harm from alcohol. But a review of evidence showed the lifetime risk of dying from alcohol-related disease or injury remained below 1 in 100 if alcohol consumption stayed below 10 per week.Read more of this story at Slashdot.
