Research undeniably supports more careful policies around drinking. Still, we must take all aspects of alcohol consumption into account.
Since 2011, in Canada, moderate drinking was defined as up to two standard drinks per day for women and up to three standard drinks per day for men, with no more than 10 standard drinks per week for women and 15 standard drinks per week for men. So, a limit of one or two drinks a week is a complete departure from the public recommendations we had been given before. Furthermore, the CCSA also recommends that we add warning labels on bottles, stating that alcohol can cause cancer.
Historians claim that fermented beverages existed in early Egyptian civilization. Some archives also suggest alcohol was drunk by the Chinese more than 9,000 years ago. Intuitively, it’s hard to understand why anyone would put alcohol in the penalty box, as we did with cigarettes or other such harmful products in our lives. Besides alcohol, other substances and factors can cause cancer, as put forth by multiple studies. But the risks have now been demonstrated scientifically.
But the CCSA’s scientific evaluation is far from perfect. For one, some studies still show the benefits of moderate consumption when considering all the causes of mortality in determining health risks. In other words, drinking may not be the main cause of death, even for a regular consumer of alcohol. These studies are mentioned in the report, but in passing.
Socializing alcohol doesn’t just have its bright side, though. Undesirable social problems are obvious as well, including mental and physical ailments, and incidences of abuse, sexual and domestic violence, harassment and so forth. Alcohol is often part of our society’s darker side.
