Descrição: The National Board of Health and Welfare (NBHW) in Sweden (Socialstyrelsen, 2023) recently updated its threshold for risky drinking, to be considered by healthcare staff in patient work. This is part of their national guidelines for the treatment and prevention of unhealthy lifestyles. The scientific basis for NBHW's threshold consists of recent guidelines published in other countries and two additional systematic reviews identified through literature searches. According to the new threshold, women and men who drink 10 or more standard units (referred to as “standard glasses”) of alcohol during a week are drinking risky (“riskbruk”). Drinking four or more standard units on one occasion at least once a month is also considered risky. As a reference, a standard unit of alcohol in Sweden is defined as 12 g of pure ethanol, corresponding to, for example, 330 ml of strong beer, or 120–150 ml of wine. Below, we raise some concerns with the threshold.
