Major alcohol study just released (after unexplained delay from HHS):
Even 1 drink per day linked to higher risks of serious illness & premature death - including liver cirrhosis, certain cancers, and injuries. No net health benefits found at any level.
This taxpayer-funded review adds to evidence that alcohol harms start low. It’s sparking fresh questions about past U.S. dietary guidelines and potential industry influence.
Key takeaway: Less is better for long-term health! statnews.com/2026/06/09/supp…

This mind-bending @nejm trial randomized septic shock patents to A-line vs cuff BP monitoring
The signal showed that outcomes were actually worse in those randomized to A-line. By a bit. So at least cuff monitoring is non-inferior.
I find that I am using A-lines less and less with patients on vasoactive meds.
What about you?
