Review of Evidence on Alcohol and Health
Requested by Congress in P.L. 117-328, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, this new National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine report informs the next edition of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. It independently reviews the evidence on the relationship between moderate alcohol consumption and eight health outcomes including obesity, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. The resulting report presents the committee's findings and conclusions and does not offer dietary recommendations or advice.
These briefings were for members of Congress and congressional staff only. The report was publicly released on December 17, 2024 and can be found, in its entirety, on the Web site of the National Academies Press.
