Alcohol guidelines at home and abroad
In the Netherlands, the alcohol guideline has been in force since 2016 that it is advisable not to drink alcohol. And if you do, keep it to a maximum of one glass of alcohol per day. What about our neighboring countries and other countries?
Canada is upside down. Because the Canadian health authorities have issued new guidelines for alcohol intake. The advice is not to drink at all. According to the health experts, those who cannot do without alcohol should stick to a maximum of two drinks a week.
And that is quite a difference with the advice issued in 2011: ten glasses of alcohol per week for women and fifteen glasses of alcohol per week for men.
In the Netherlands, the Health Council advised in 2015 to drink a maximum of one glass of alcohol per day. Figures from Statistics Netherlands from 2020 show that 41 percent of adults adhere to this guideline. Source: bnnvara.nl.
