The new update to the U.S. dietary guidelines, published Wednesday, included a surprising new stance on alcohol.

The Trump administration has changed federal guidance on alcohol consumption as part of its updated U.S. dietary guidelines.

In a reversal of current health recommendations, the Trump administration's new guidelines no longer specify clear limits on alcohol consumption

The draft findings from the Interagency Coordinating Committee on the Prevention of Underage Drinking (ICCPUD) indicated that in the US, “males and females have a 1 in 1000 risk of dying from alcohol use if they consume more than seven drinks per week”.

Last spring, a group of officials from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services was drafting a proposal to halve the recommended limit for alcohol consumption for men to one drink a day, according to two former government sources and a document seen by Reuters.
