HHS is expected to revise its alcohol guidance from recommending two or fewer drinks a day to a more general recommendation.

The scientific basis for recommending specific daily limits is limited, and the goal is to ensure the guidelines reflect only the most robust evidence, a source said.

The United States is rumored to eliminate its long-standing recommendation that adults limit alcohol intake to two or fewer drinks per day. On Wednesday, Reuters reported that revisions are underway on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
