According to the evidence reviewed by the Committee, limited consumption of alcohol and coffee does not tend to affect overall health. In the case of alcohol it is important to note that the Committee’s analysis only applies to adults. Furthermore, alcohol consumption is not recommended for pregnant women or individuals whose health may be adversely affected by alcoholic drinks.

Coffee consumption in moderation can be part of a healthy diet, although it is worth taking into account how much sugar and cream are added to each drink.
