Q: I\u2019ve been trying to cut back on alcohol lately, but I do drink occasionally. Are any types of alcohol less risky than others?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve heard that red wine is better for you<\/a> than beer or liquor, or that clear liquor like vodka or gin is less harmful than dark liquor like rum or whiskey, we have bad news.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlcohol is alcohol,\u201d said J\u00fcrgen Rehm, a senior scientist at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto. Drinking any type of alcohol, in any amount<\/a>, is bad for health.<\/p>\n

Still, experts say, it\u2019s sometimes not reasonable or even practical for people to avoid alcohol entirely. So if you\u2019re going to drink, there are some strategies you can take to reduce your risk, and to avoid some of the other unpleasant effects of drinking, like hangovers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
