Natalie Brown: “I often learn that friends have left The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints when they post pictures of themselves with a wine glass on social media.”
State liquor and wine store in Saratoga Springs in 2020. Tribune guest columnist Natalie Brown explores what health research says about drinking alcohol.I often learn that friends have left The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints when they post pictures of themselves with a wine glass on social media.
I worry, however, when friends and family who leave the church decide to drink, and it can be hard to separate concerns founded on science from those based on religious identity. Latter-day Saint culture focuses on alcohol’s negative effects, such as loss of control and the threat of addiction, rather than its potential for sociality. Moreover, it is hard to distinguish someone’s rejection of our shared faith from a rejection of me.
What I found in my research, frankly, surprised me. Like many, I had heard that moderate alcohol consumption had cardiovascular benefits for some people. Health authorities now consider this research flawed. Theexplains that studies associating improved health outcomes with moderate drinking did not adequately account for other differences between those who did and did not drink.
Whether or not moderate alcohol consumption produces some protective effects, any potential health benefits are probably outweighed by the increased risk of cancer. A landmark global study on alcohol use between 1990 and 2016 published in showed “some protective effects for ischemic heart disease and diabetes among women,” but these benefits were offset by alcohol’s overall harms, including increased “risk of cancer, injuries, and communicable disease.
