The Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction dramatically revised the recommendations for low-risk drinking. Evidence suggests there is no safe amount of alcohol because it’s associated with heart disease and stroke and the risk of cancer rises with every drink. The health risks become increasingly high when someone has six or more drinks per week and for women who have three or more drinks per week, the risk of health issues increases more steeply compared to men. Experts say the risks associated with alcohol consumption need to be made clearer. They want to see cancer warnings and the number of standard drinks listed on alcohol bottles or cans.
