Where do you begin if you are looking for information on alcohol and potential health effects more generally?
Alcohol has been studied extensively over time. A search for the term “alcohol” on PubMed.gov, a government database of scientific research, returns more than one million results. And the body of research grows each year; there are thousands of new studies published.
DrinkInfo provides some easily accessible resources for those wishing to learn more. The Alcohol Resources & Services page includes the links to several governmental and health organization websites on alcohol and health, such as the Center for Disease Control, the National Institutes of Health, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, and others. Throughout the website, DrinkInfo includes information published by health authorities on specific topics, as well as easy access to the PubMed.gov search engine where you can explore a database with more than one million studies published on alcohol.
More importantly, every individual should consult with their own health providers about their alcohol consumption.
