CFA Urges Trump Administration to Follow the Science on Alcohol Guidelines

CFA submitted the following comments to the Departments of Agriculture and Health and Human Services regarding two studies meant to inform the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans’ advice on alcoholic beverages. As the letter explains, the next Guidelines have the potential to greatly improve public health by correcting decades of misleading advice regarding alcohol. The new Guidelines should revise the “two drinks per day” moderate drinking limit for men to complement, rather than contradict, the current Guidelines’ advice that “drinking less alcohol is better for health,” at any level.
