dc.description.abstractMany countries propose low-risk drinking guidelines (LRDGs) to mitigate alcohol-related harms, but drinkers following these guidelines can still experience the harms caused by alcohol. Canadian LRDGs are high by international standards, suggesting that men not exceed 15 drinks and women not exceed 10 drinks per week. The researchers conducted a series of analyses to estimate the proportion of alcohol-caused health harms that are experienced by those drinking within and above Canadian weekly guidelines.en_US
