Is drinking 2-3 cans of seltzers every weekend (Friday & Saturday) bad for you?

I am not a heavy drinker by any means. I don’t drink hard liquor like ever. I prefer Mikes Hard or some trulys/white claws with about 5-8% alcohol percentage. Is this bad for me?

Answer

You don’t state if it’s 2-3 cans all weekend or 2-3 cans each day of the weekend? I don’t find issue with drinking a little on the weekend, over all I’m a healthy male, - I run , cycle , lift weights and my diet is full of greens and lean meats. On weekends I’ll have one beer on Friday and Saturday, Sunday I’ll have a glass of wine with my wife at dinner, no big deal.

10 days ago the World Health Organisation stated that “No level of alcohol consumption is safe for our health” and “the risks start from the first drop”. How much risk, that’s another question.

Answer

The Canadian government recently revised public health guidelines to a maximum of 5 drinks a week for men of 3 drinks a week for women but also confirmed that risk starts with the first drink. The previous guideline was up to 9 drinks a week for women so quite a change
