Several \u200clocals standing\u200b behind him joined in, showing their support.<\/p>\n<p>While discussing the topic, \u2062Cruz also took a playful \u200djab at Bud \u200cLight, expressing\u2063 his satisfaction that the nonalcoholic beer being consumed \u200dwas not from \u200dthe brand that,\u2064 in\u2062 his opinion, had done significant damage to itself.<\/p>\n<h3>Alcohol Consumption and its Impact<\/h3>\n<p>The 2021 National Survey on Drug Use \u200dand Health revealed that a staggering 78% of the population, approximately\u200d 219.2 million people \u2064over\u2064 the age of 12, reported consuming\u200b alcohol at some point in \u200btheir lives.<\/p>\n<p>The National \u200cInstitutes of Health reported that individuals who exceeded the recommended alcohol intake by \u2062twice\u200b the gender-specific limit were 70 times more likely\u2062 to have an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cruz-drinks-beer-on-live-tv-in-defiance-of-proposed-biweekly-beer-recommendation\/\" title=\"Cruz defies beer recommendation, drinks on live TV.\">alcohol-related emergency department visit<\/a>. Furthermore, those who consumed \u2063alcohol at three\u2063 times the recommendation faced a staggering 93\u200b times higher risk \u2064of experiencing\u2063 an alcohol-related emergency department visit.<\/p>\n<p>It remains to be seen whether the National Institutes \u200cof Health will officially adopt the biweekly alcohol consumption recommendation.
