Hello Marie-José, You are right that many organizations are suggesting different guidelines. However official guidelines for healthy people have not changed. Obviously this is different for people with a health condition, pregnant women etc. I invite you to check Health Canada 2025 guidelines https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/substance-use/alcohol/low-risk-alcohol-drinking-guidelines.html

Thank you for your very practical and well organized website.
While reading the instructions for my meal plan I found an article about alcohol consumption.
Do you think it needs to be updated? The guidelines for 1 drink / day for women and 2 for men is no longer the standard. Actually, it is better not to drink alcohol at all. But if people are not able to abstain, even for health reasons, maybe 1 drink a week or a month ! I know it can be hard for some people. But it has been proven to cause breast cancer for women and bladder cancer for men. I personally know people who died from drinking moderately, only 1 drink a day for “helping the heart” as the doctors used to recommend many years ago.
The urologists at Sacré Coeur hospital now ask the patients with bladder cancer: “are you a smoker or do you drink alcohol regularly?” How things have changed!!!
