Citation for "Maximum Quantity Recommended"

Hello,

The section "Maximum Quantity Recommended" needs a citation. The UK government offers their recommendation here.[1]

I'm sure other government agency have their own recommendations as well.

Removing Primary Source Citations

We do not use primary sources when there are high-quality secondary sources available, particularly when the secondary sources contradict the primary sources, as is the case in this article.Sbelknap (talk) 20:24, 30 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

erroneous statements in lede

The lede asserts that moderate ethanol consumption conveys health benefits and cites primary sources and low-quality secondary sources. This assertion of health benefits contradicts high-quality secondary sources mentioned in the main body of the article. The lede needs revision to reflect the best available information from secondary sources. Sbelknap (talk) 20:25, 30 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have made some changes to the lede that reflect the most recent meta-analysis results, as described in the body of the article.Sbelknap (talk) 02:19, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

good job.--Literaturegeek | T@1k? 12:27, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Primary source citations abound

A cursory look at referencing finds that many of the references are primary sources. In a few instances, references had nothing to do with the text being 'supported'. Given the controversy of benefit:harm theories, this article could use a rigorous review of the cited literature. David notMD (talk) 14:12, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The relation between low or moderate consumption of alcohol and health is not clear

The leadtion section:

"The best available current evidence suggests that consumption of alcohol (chemically known as ethanol) does not improve health" article history
"Previous assertions that low or moderate consumption of alcohol improved health have been deprecated by more careful and complete meta-analysis"
"Even light and moderate alcohol consumption increases risk for certain types of cancer"
"Conversely moderate intake of alcohol may have some beneficial effects on gastritis and cholelithiasis"

Mortality effects section:

"A 2016 systematic review and meta-analysis found that moderate ethanol consumption does not prolong life compared with lifetime abstention from ethanol consumption."

Digestive system and weight gain/Metabolic syndrome section:

"Mild to moderate alcohol consumption is associated with a lower prevalence of the metabolic syndrome......"
