About this episode
WELCOME TO SEASON 6 OF THE MAYO CLINIC TALKS PODCAST!
Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D.
Guest: Warren G. Thompson, M.D.
Alcohol can offer a variety of social and potential health benefits when consumed in moderation. However, alcohol is also associated with a variety of health risks, including addiction, increased likelihood of accidents, impaired judgment, cardiovascular problems, hepatic disease and even malignancy. Other than the social benefits, are there true health benefits of alcohol? Is there an amount of alcohol that’s considered safe? How can we as primary care clinicians convey the health risks of alcohol to our patients? The topic for this podcast is the “Risks and Benefits of Alcohol” and these are some of the questions I’ll be asking my guest, Warren G. Thompson, M.D., an internist and preventive medicine specialist at the Mayo Clinic.
