Even people who never exceed the recommended limits for alcohol consumption are likely to experience brain health problems as they age, a new study suggests.
A new study examined the impact of alcohol consumption in healthy adults who did not report drinking more than the accepted ‘low-risk’ alcohol limits.
Which makes it very clear that by “little” in the title (they do not say “little” in the article) they mean “below the low-risk limit”, and that “low-risk” is a technically defined term. Here is also the very first sentence of the abstract of the paper which the article is about, which they link to and is free to read:
Low-level alcohol consumption at or below current guidelines (≤1 standard drink equivalent/day for females, ≤2 standard drink equivalents/day for males)
2 drinks a day is a lot of alcohol imo. I’d love a study that looks at more normal amounts of alcohol (imo being less than 0.5 drinks a day on average)
I think one of the main points of this study is exactly to show that studying such smaller quantities would be worthwhile and could have tangible health implications
That is literally the entire point of the study. How is that misleading?
A little alcohol is too broad. It’s intentionally misleading by being vague.
The very first sentence is

Yeah I have 1-3 drinks per week.
