In this video, we break down the latest science and global health guidelines — from the WHO’s warning that no amount of alcohol is safe, to new limits in the U.S., Canada, and Australia. We explore decades of shifting research, the myths about red wine and heart health, and what recent studies really say about risks like cancer and heart disease. Whether you’re curious about the “two drinks a week” recommendation or wondering if moderate drinking can be healthy, this explainer separates fact from fiction.
