Is there really a positive relationship between alcohol and our health? In a piece for the IAS, Dr Rachel Visontay shares why it is so hard to determine a causal relationship, what her research has shown and what we can do about it.

🧵1/2 | Congratulations Rachel Visontay who has been selected to attend the prestigious Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings in Germany this year. Australian Academy of Science nominated Rachel as they believe she will be a fantastic representative of Australian science at the meeting... and we couldn't agree more!

Our updated review on MR studies examining causal effects of alcohol use on mental health Rachel Visontay Genetics Network Amsterdam 🧬

It was a pleasure talking to the SMH about our new study looking at alcohol and depression. We found a little drinking may protect against depression, but important to note that it's harmful for many other conditions.

Honoured and thrilled to have been selected for the #Lindau2023 Nobel Laureate Meeting!

Go Rachel Visontay !!

‘Based on the studies we reviewed, it’s likely that our previous understanding of how beneficial moderate drinking is for health is overblown’ Rachel Visontay #alcoholresearch
