These Canadians are undeterred by new alcohol guidelines

New national recommendations in Canada that say abstaining from alcohol is the only risk-free approach.

But if a person chooses to consume, two drinks maximum each week is deemed low-risk by the government-backed guidance.

The advice is a sharp drop from the previous recommendation, published in 2011.

Those guidelines allowed a maximum of 10 drinks a week for women and 15 drinks for men.
