Biden Alcohol Czar Threatens Americans With Canada-Style Beer Limits of Two Per Week

Dr. George Koob, the director of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), told the Daily Mail that he's interested in tightening U.S. guidelines to match Canada's alcohol recommendations, which say that both men and women should consider having only two drinks every week. Canada's health department issued the recommendations this year under left-wing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
The NIAAA currently recommends that non-pregnant women have at most one drink per day and that men have at most two. A "drink" is equivalent to one beer, one glass of wine, or one shot, according to the agency. Those guidelines, however, are up for review in 2025, prompting Koob's remarks.
If alcohol consumption guidelines "go in any direction, it would be toward Canada," Koob told the Daily Mail. While some studies have shown that moderate red wine consumption may reduce the risk of cancer and improve heart health, Koob said that consuming alcohol increases the likelihood of cancer and has no health benefits.
