Federal Study Urges 1 Drink-a-Day Limit After Alleged Trump Sidelining

3 articles · Updated · The Washington Post · Jun 9

A federally commissioned alcohol study published Tuesday recommends Americans consume no more than one drink a day, after researchers said it was sidelined during Trump administration revisions to U.S. dietary guidelines.
The report found health risks accelerate beyond that level, estimating about a 1-in-1,000 premature-death risk at one daily drink that rises to 1 in 25 at two.
Published in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs, the study was commissioned to inform updated federal dietary guidance on alcohol consumption.
The findings clash with Trump-era health guidance and revive criticism from the alcohol industry, which had called the research ideologically driven.
