U.S. dietary guidelines define a moderate, low-health-risk alcohol intake as one drink or less per day for women and two or less for men. (That does not apply, however, to people who are pregnant ...
Health risks of alcohol consumption. A systematic analysis of data from the Global Burden of Disease Study, which was an observational study, found that long-term consumption of any amount of alcohol is associated with an increased risk of death in all people, and that even moderate consumption appears to be risky.

A new federal report shows that one drink per day could raise the risk of liver damage and several cancers. The report follows a recommendation by the U.S. Surgeon General on safe alcohol ...
The long-term effects of alcohol have been extensively researched. The health effects of long-term alcohol consumption vary depending on the amount consumed. Even light drinking poses health risks, [61] but atypically small amounts of alcohol may have health benefits. [62] Alcoholism causes severe health consequences which outweigh any ...

Even light drinking poses health risks, [1] but atypically small amounts of alcohol may have health benefits. [2] Alcoholism causes severe health consequences which outweigh any potential ...
Alcohol is also converted into phosphatidylethanol (PEth, an unnatural lipid metabolite) by phospholipase D2. This metabolite competes with PIP 2 agonist sites on lipid-gated ion channels. [28] [29] The result of these direct effects is a wave of further indirect effects involving a variety of other neurotransmitter and neuropeptide systems. [25]

Alcoholic ketoacidosis is caused by complex physiology that is the result of prolonged and heavy alcohol intake, usually in the setting of poor nutrition. Chronic alcohol use can cause depleted hepatic glycogen stores and ethanol metabolism further impairs gluconeogenesis.
