Offered by the Health and Well-Being Program

Are the benefits of moderate drinking a universal truth or a medical myth? Since the release of Canada鈥檚 Low-Risk Alcohol Drinking Guidelines in 2011, substantial new research on the association between alcohol use and physical, mental and social harms has been done. Evidence shows that consuming alcohol increases the risk of such harms, including the risk of seven types of cancer, short-term disability and injury, and heart disease and stroke. Join Dr. Christopher Labos in this session to understand the impacts of drinking alcohol, and the new recommended amounts.

• Does alcohol have benefits?
• The links between alcohol and chronic illnesses
• The effects of reducing alcohol consumption
• What is the recommended amount of alcohol consumption?

About the Speaker:

Dr. Christopher Labos is a cardiologist with a degree in epidemiology. He is a columnist with the Montreal Gazette, is featured on the Sunday Morning House Call on CJAD radio, and has a regular TV segment with CTV Montreal and CBC Morning Live. He is also a blogger for the medical website Medscape and he co-hosts the award-winning podcast 鈥淭he Body of Evidence.鈥� He spends most of his time doing things that he doesn鈥檛 get paid for, like doing research, teaching, and podcasting. Occasionally, he finds time to practice as a cardiologist so he can pay his rent. He realizes that half of his research findings will be disproved in five years: he just doesn鈥檛 know which half. To date no one has asked him for his autograph.
