Recent guidelines from the Surgeon General indicate that even moderate alcohol consumption poses significant health risks, particularly increasing the likelihood of several cancers. In this episode, cardiologist Dr. Michael Koren and GI specialist Dr. Bharat Misra analyze the data on alcohol and if it aligns with the Surgeon General's recommendation to add warning labels to alcohol.
The doctors suggest limiting the number of days per week alcohol is consumed and challenge traditional views to look at effects on cancers, heart health, and social aspects. They emphasize the need for personal assessment of drinking habits and highlights the importance of having good data and informed conversations with healthcare professionals about individual risks associated with alcohol.
Koren's Key Takeaways:

• Alcohol use is complex and affects many body and social systems
• Talking to your doctor is the best way to determine your risk
• We could use more high-quality data on alcohol use and its effects
