Raise a mocktail to Sober September.
Headlines touting the health benefits of moderate alcohol consumption are everywhere these days. Whether it’s the cardio-protective effect of any alcoholic beverage or the specific antioxidant powers of red wine, the media keeps delivering the good news: Moderate drinking is not only fashionable, it’s healthy.
For moderate drinkers, the biggest health hazard appears to be an increased risk of many types of cancer, with studies showing a linear relationship between the two, meaning the more you drink, the higher your risk.However, when researchers from British Columbia looked at 87 alcohol studies and adjusted for confounding factors among nondrinkers, the overall health benefits of moderate drinking disappeared.
To begin with, the standard definition of moderate drinking in the U.S. — one or two drinks a day — is pretty vague. The definition of “a drink” has changed quite a bit over the years. Twelve-ounce beers have become pints and pours of wine have grown from 5 to 6, or even 8, ounces. Note that this study did not include light or occasional drinkers, whose alcohol-related health risks are extremely low.
Hollander’s company, still in its infancy, is growing much faster than that, though. “We’re adding two new beer styles late this fall, and will be increasing production by four hundred percent next quarter in order to meet demand,” says Hollander. Pauline and Kathleen decided to give OYNB a try because they weren’t happy with how alcohol was affecting their lives. “I went on vacation with my daughter last February, and it was a big drunkfest,” Pauline says. “After that, I knew I wanted to make a change.”
