Diageo Applauds Government's Alcohol Language in 2015 U.S. Dietary Guidelines

“We applaud the USDA and HHS for underscoring and reiterating in the 2015 Dietary Guidelines for Americans that there is no ‘drink of moderation,’ only the practice of moderation,” said Guy L. Smith, Executive Vice President, Diageo North America. “Not only do they reaffirm the definition of what they call ‘a drink-equivalent’ as 0.6 fluid ounces of pure alcohol, but they also provide clear reference examples including 12 ounces of regular beer (5% alcohol), 5 ounces of wine (12% alcohol), or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof distilled spirits (40% alcohol). These examples give Americans an easy to understand way to keep track of how much alcohol they are consuming.

Food Donation Can Significantly Reduce Hunger in Local Communities

The holiday season can be a great time to reflect upon the many blessings for which we are thankful: nutritious food, the gift of friends and family and good health. But it can be a difficult time for those in need, especially for the 48 million people dealing with hunger. Using food responsibly and donating excess food can help make the holiday season more plentiful and hunger-free for all.

The issue of food waste
Every year, 60 million tons of food are wasted in the United States. Retailers and consumers are responsible for wasting nearly a third of the country’s food supply, with the average American family throwing away an estimated $1,500 worth of food every year.
