Dietary Guidelines Become Mired in War Over Alcohol Safety

Roll Call
Alcohol Beverage attorney Jessica Brown was quoted in a Roll Call article about the ongoing controversy surrounding a study on alcohol and health that could influence the next U.S. Dietary Guidelines. The article reviewed lawmaker and industry concerns over the Interagency Coordinating Committee on the Prevention of Underage Drinking's (ICCPUD) involvement in studying adult alcohol consumption, which some argue lacks transparency and proper oversight. Ms. Brown highlighted the alcohol industry's commitment to compliance and public interest, regardless of potential guideline changes.

"The alcohol beverage industry is one of the most highly regulated and compliant, focused-on-compliance industries out there," she said. "So I think, regardless of the outcome, the industry will respond in the best interest of the public."
