New guidelines published by the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse (CCSA), has drastically reduced what is considered low-risk drinking on the number of drinks consumed each week, and the increased risk of alcohol related health issues: Previous guidelines indicated 10 drinks a week for women and 15 for men. The new proposed guidelines now indicate that more than 6 drinks a week for men and 3 for women, leads to increased risk of a host of health issues. The new proposed guidelines suggest that the health risks become “increasingly high” when someone has six or more drinks per week.
