Although moderate drinking may offer a small reduction in stroke risk, the potential for increased cancer risk is a serious concern.

This study is key in shaping updated dietary guidelines and underscores the need for careful consideration of alcohol consumption.

The report emphasizes that higher alcohol intake is correlated with a greater risk of mortality and many health problems.
