Men should cut back their alcohol intake to one drink per day rather than two, according to an influential panel that is advising the government on new dietary guidelines due out this year

.panel of outside experts convened once every five years called the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee.“For those who drink alcohol, recommended limits for better health are up to 1 drink per day for both women and men,” the committee said in its draft report.

and being hamstrung by the Trump administration. But the recommendations look pretty similar to those during the Obama administration, except they go further on alcohol and sugar. The panel of outside experts does not write the guidelines, but reviews the latest science and advises the government on what they should say.

“This would suggest that there is a lot of new science on this topic, and there’s not,” said Eric Rimm, a nutrition researcher at Harvard, who served on the 2010 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee and played a key role in reviewing alcohol science. “It’s unfortunate because it’s going to create some confusion.”advisory committee is also suggesting that Americans should take in even less added sugar than previously advised.

The expert panel did not touch on the issue of environmental sustainability, something that was a major controversy during the last round of the guidelines. In 2015, the advisory committee recommended that sustainability be part of the guidelines, something that the meat industry saw as a major threat.

YanksFamBam does Twisted Tea count? 🤣

Don't worry guys, THIS TIME we nailed down the ideal human diet!

I might be able to cut it from 5 to Maybe....

I'll stick with 15 instead of the entire 30pk.

Can I just have seven on Saturday

How dare you attack your own people? This is treason.

I had to drink a 6 pack just to read this ridiculous article!

Cutting back to one before 5pm is doable

How about I drink however much I want until the second Confederacy has been defeated?

Maybe they should just mind their own business.

Oui mais on a soif.

Now wokeness is going too far!

“Give me wine to wash me clean of the weather-stains of cares.”

That’s weird. I sat down with a panel full of real men and we decided the government is run by mostly self serving, unqualified, dick bags that don’t give a shit about the American people. They’re ruining this country, but I’ll sleep well knowing one drink is healthier than two🍾

Finally something everyone can disagree with and ignore... You did it Politico. You've healed America.

Will need to buy a larger glass

In this economy? With this President?

I'm hearing we should halve it. so... out of curiousity, how much is half a handle?

America tuned out two weeks ago

Now really isn't the time for that sort of negativity.

2 plus drinks per day is the only thing getting me through these challenging times. They should rethink this.

You should shut the hell up that's what that panel oughta do.

Don't tell me what to do.
