How dangerous could one beer be?

The "How Do They Know" show from journalists Adam Cole and Joss Fong. You may have seen our work with Vox, NPR's Skunk Bear, and Netflix "Explained". Now we've left those jobs and work directly for you. These are our principles: Curiosity-driven: We are not searching for evidence to support a position that we've already chosen. We are here to understand what it takes to answer interesting questions and to help you navigate what we know so far. Primary sources: We read all of the research that we cover, and we interview those involved in that work (Researchers: please answer our emails!) Accountability: In the case of any factual errors, we will post corrections directly under the relevant video that explain what we got wrong. Independence: Outside of shorts, we will not accept offers for spon-con/native advertising, in which the video itself exists to serve the sponsor. The ad read is the only part of the video that sponsors review. To support this project, find us on Patreon.

O’Connor Hoang Anh Ky Mikey Limotta Marcos Huerta Joaquim Salles Sam Gaty Verner Sääsk Jason Dunlap Parag Mallick Paul Monaghan Edgar Sutawika How much alcohol is actually safe to drink? 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. The two images of televisions marked with an * during the Australia & Canada news montage were generated using MidJourney.
