Meeting New Alcohol Intake Guidelines Can Be Tough Calgarians

The Canadian Center on Substance Use and Addiction (CCSA) conducted a two-year study and found that there is a low health risk for Canadians to consume up to two drinks per week. Drinking three to six drinks a week raised the risk to a moderate level, while drinking more than six was found to contribute to increased risks of cancer, stroke, heart disease and violence. “Alcohol is the leading preventable cause of death and disabling injury, accidents and social harm. This is something that is within people’s control,” said Dr Peter Butt, co-chair of the UK’s Low Risk Drinking Guidelines Canada, as published by the CCSA. . Some Calgarians say sticking to a specific number of drinks can be more difficult than abstaining from drinking for a number of factors. “You can easily have three to six drinks on a Friday night without much thought, especially in the summer,” Sean Felix said. “You have to find moderation. It’s a personal thing and six drinks won’t affect everyone the same,” Shawn Nadbrzezny said. The manager at St. James Corner says staff are trained to reduce the risks of drunkenness and don’t recommend patrons return a week’s worth of drinks in one visit. “As a bar, we have our own safety guidelines, but health is the responsibility of our guests,” said Jeff Beddoes. The 2011 version of those recommendations allowed more drinks at 15 drinks a week for men and 10 for women, but researchers say emerging data have shown harmful health risks with higher consumption. “You can reduce your risk just by cutting down on drinking. You don’t have to stop drinking – if you just cut down, less is better,” Butt said.
