“Although the risks of excessive alcohol consumption in
terms of injury and chronic disease (2) are well known, less is known about the
calories consumed from alcoholic beverages. As with calorically sweetened
beverages, alcoholic beverages are a top contributor to caloric intake but
provide few nutrients.”
- Adults who have had at least one drink of alcohol within the past 30 days
- Binge drinkers (males having five or more drinks on one occasion, females having four or more drinks on one occasion)
- Heavy drinkers (adult men having more than two drinks per day and adult women having more than one drink per day)
