Catherine Paradis explains which diseases are caused by drinking, and what you need to know to understand how much drinking puts you at risk
So what is a standard drink?
Absolutely. Make sure you don’t exceed two standard drinks on any day. So if you’re saying. “I’m going to be comfortable with the moderate-risk zone, you know, and I would like to stick to six drinks per week,” that’s wonderful. But then you would need to spread that over minimally three to six days so that you never exceed two standard drinks on any day.We were, of course, anxious about how this would be received by the public.
In the past when researchers were trying to assess the relationship between alcohol and heart disease, they would take a group of people who have one drink per day and compare them to people who don’t drink and then see what was the risk. One doctor told me the youngest he’s seen was a 23-year-old girl entering the hospital with liver disease, because what people do not know is that while it’s true that liver disease develops after years of heavy drinking, it can also after a series of binge-drinking events. And that’s what we are seeing now.
I’m sure that there’s a lot of tobacco smokers out there who would tell you that when they smoke, they do feel relaxed. They do feel better. Do we factor that in when we produce research about tobacco? No, we don’t. The other thing is we found no studies on the relationship between mental health and alcohol that met our quality criteria. So yes, we didn’t factor in pleasure, but we didn’t factor in depression and anxiety either.
