Rosalind A. Breslow, Ph.D., M.P.H., an epidemiologist in NIAAA's Division of Epidemiology and Prevention Research, and Barry I. Graubard, Ph.D., a statistician in the Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics at the National Cancer Institute, examined data from a nationwide health survey conducted in 1988.

A drawback of that approach, says Dr. Breslow, is that averaging obscures potential differences between people who sometimes drink heavily and those who consistently drink small amounts of alcohol.
"Average intake makes no distinction between the individual who has seven drinks one day each week, for example, and someone who has just one drink, every day," explains Dr. Breslow. -

Previous studies have shown that moderate alcohol consumption is associated with a reduced risk for cardiovascular disease and death, notes first author Rosalind A. Breslow, Ph.D., an epidemiologist in NIAAA's Division of Epidemiology and Prevention Research.However, diet could be partly responsible for these findings, since a healthy diet has been associated with the same outcome.
"Clarifying the relationship between alcohol consumption and diet quality is an important step in determining the extent to which diet influences studies of alcohol and cardiovascular outcomes," explains Dr. Breslow.To that end, the purpose of our study was to determine the association between drinking patterns and diet quality in the U.S. population.It's important to note that determining the cause or causes of any such association was not part of our current study."
Dr. Breslow and her colleagues analyzed data collected from more than 3,000 participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), an ongoing survey of representative cross-sectional samples of the U.S. population conducted by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

"In our study, healthier diets were associated with healthier drinking patterns," says Dr. Breslow.
