All three segments of the beverage alcohol world have joined forces to strongly advocate against an organized effort by neo-prohibitionists who want to make radical changes to the U.S. Dietary Guidelines.
A coalition which includes the National Beer Wholesalers Association, Wine and Spirits Wholesalers of America, Beer Institute, Brewers Association, Wine Institute and DISCUS has launched a consumer-friendly website at www.scienceoverbias.com.
What’s at Stake? Every five years, the U.S. Departments of Human & Health Services (HHS) and Agriculture (USDA) update Dietary Guidelines. The process for developing the 2025 Guidelines is underway now and it’s being heavily influenced by anti-alcohol activist researchers who advocate for “No Safe Level” of alcohol consumption.
For decades now, the dietary recommendation has been that female adults should have no more than one drink per day while male adults should have no more than two. That’s reasonable and there’s no reason for this proposed change.
More than 100 Members of Congress are greatly concerned that the current review of the Dietary Guidelines has gone off the rails in a radical direction. We encourage you to get informed about this issue and the brazen effort by activists to demonize the moderate consumption of alcohol.
