1:07Now PlayingMore Americans appear to be heeding warnings about the health risks of alcohol. According to a new Gallup poll, just 54 percent of adults say that they drink. That is an all-time low. And a record 53 percent say moderate drinking, or one or two drinks a day, is bad for their health. That's compared to 28 percent a decade ago. The shift is driven largely by young adults.
Moderate drinking like having red wine at dinner was once thought to be good for your heart, but evidence now shows even moderate drinking leads to negative health outcomes and is a leading cause of cancer.
