A government-commissioned study found drinking risks. US
guidelines didn’t feature its findings
June 9, 2026
A study commissioned by President Joe Biden’s administration to
investigate alcohol-related health harms was released
independently on Tuesday, after President Donald Trump’s
administration decided not to feature the researchers’ findings
in new dietary guidelines as it faced pushback from the alcohol
industry and a congressional committee.
The findings of the study, in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol
and Drugs, were in line with years of research, saying that
health risks go up with just one drink a day and no level of
alcohol has a protective effect on mortality. Even levels
considered “moderate” raise the risk of premature death and more
than 200 diseases, including heart disease and cancer,
researchers found.

COMMENT:
All public service employees and elected officials need random
drug and alcohol testing so we can at least rule that out.
