DON’T FEAR SAYING “CHEERS”
The nation’s top nutritionists plainly don’t support prohibition. But they’re staunch believers in moderation when it comes to alcohol. “There’s no evidence, unless you are driving, that drinking alcohol in limited quantities is bad for you,” says Judith S. Stern, Sc.D., a registered dietitian and professor of nutrition at the University of California, Davis. Alcohol in excess (more than two drinks per day) is another story: It will destroy livers as well as lives.
