Canada’s Guidance on Alcohol and Health provides evidence-based advice on alcohol to support people in making informed decisions about their health. The guidance is based on the latest research on alcohol-related risks and replaces Canada’s Low-Risk Alcohol Drinking Guidelines (LRDGs) issued in 2011. Download the PDF version of the new report.
Some examples from the report:

Dr. Catherine Paradis, a sociologist, is co-chair of the group behind these new guidelines and interim associate director of research at the CCSA. She explains the changes in this Globe & Mail article: One of the experts behind Canada’s new alcohol drinking guidelines explains the changes.
