A government-commissioned study found drinking risks. US guidelines didn't feature its findings
A government-commissioned study found that even moderate alcohol consumption increases health risks, but the Trump administration excluded its findings from dietary guidelines amid pushback from the alcohol industry and a congressional committee. The Biden administration later released the study independently, accusing the Trump administration of sidelining the research, which highlighted no safe level of alcohol consumption and linked drinking to over 200 diseases.
