Results from this latest study challenge the Trump Administration’s newest, vague guidelines, which only suggest Americans “consume less alcohol for better overall health.”

| 0:06.1 | Hey there, folks. |
| 0:07.2 | It is Tuesday, June 9th, and Americans are drinking at the lowest rate ever recorded. |
| 0:16.4 | And after you hear this episode, that number is probably going to go down even more. And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and T.J. Good Lord have mercy. All the studies have been going this way. You almost roll your eyes, don't you, rob sometimes? Here's another study that says, coffee's good for you, coffee's bad. Red wine is good, but only this much. Probably we get all these random studies. Folks, listen to us. This is not a |
| 0:38.1 | random study. This is a big deal study and you need to listen because Roves, they are telling us |
| 0:42.6 | we need to be drinking even less. Yes. This is, I hate to use the word sobering, but this has |
| 0:48.3 | been a sobering review of this new study. And look, they looked exclusively here at us Americans, at the United |
| 0:56.8 | States. And they looked at the relationship between having one drink a day and your life expectancy. |
| 1:04.2 | And when you look at what these researchers found to be true, how many people have two drinks |

| 1:45.7 | Any drop, any healthy, period. |
| 1:47.6 | And one drink a day increases your risk of premature death, period. |
| 1:52.8 | If you have two drinks a day, that risk jumps so significantly, it shocked the heck out of me. |

| 2:04.4 | Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs. |
| 2:07.2 | That was the name of the journal where it came out. |
