Alcohol Consumption and Cardiovascular Health

The 2015 to 2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans define moderate drinking as having up to one drink per day for women and up to two drinks per day for men.1 Alcohol consumption above the recommended limits was associated with higher all-cause and cause-specific mortality risk [39- 126%].2 Alcohol may contain polyphenols, amino acids, minerals,3 though the content varies considerably among types of alcohol (beer vs red wine vs white wine vs spirit). A complete understanding of these complex mechanisms in human health is limited.
