00:00Wait before you pour that next drink, hear this.
00:02For decades, Americans were told a safe limit existed.
00:06One drink a day for women, two for men.
00:09But now, new federal nutrition guidelines have removed those clear limits.
00:13Instead, they simply say, drink less for better health.
00:16And experts are raising alarms.
00:18Scientists say alcohol risk follows a dose-response pattern.
00:21That means the more you drink, the higher the risk.
00:24But here's the part most people ignore.
00:27The risk starts with the very first drop.
00:30Alcohol is linked to breast cancer, liver disease, heart problems, stroke, and depression.
00:35It contributes to around 178,000 deaths every year in the United States.
00:40Nearly 28 million Americans struggle with alcohol use disorder.
00:44Some officials say small amounts help people bond and socialize.
00:48But doctors now say there is no truly safe level of alcohol.
00:51Even one daily drink increases long-term health risks.
00:54So how much alcohol is too much?
00:56According to many researchers, less is better.
00:59And none is safest.
01:01The real question is not how much you can drink.
01:03It's how much risk you're willing to take.
01:05But I'm afraid of you, it's the person, because of AMD, you know, that's maybe
01:05a week.
01:06You're still looking for a week.
