The Task Force on Community Preventive Services recommends implementing and maintaining an age 21 minimum legal drinking age (MLDA) based on strong evidence of effectiveness, including a median 16% decline in motor vehicle crashes among underage youth in states that increased the legal drinking age to 21 years.
Alcohol can exacerbate many of the medical conditions that are common in older people, including high blood pressure and ulcers, more serious.
7.5% of Americans employed in full-time jobs report heavy drinking, defined as drinking five or more drinks per occasion on five or more days in the past 30 days; 6.6% of part-timers and 10.8% of unemployed workers also report heavy drinking; across all three categories, heavy drinkers are most likely to be found in the 18 to 25 year old age group.
Moderate use of alcohol has been defined as 1-2 drinks per day; interest in "moderate" drinking is underscored by the research showing beneficial effects of moderate drinking on cardiovascular function, and perhaps on the prevention of occlusive (clot-related) strokes.
