THE ALCOHOL
How much alcohol is safe to drink and does not affect health in a major way?
A. In January, the Canadian Center on Substance Use and Addiction (CCSA) released a 90-page report outlining new guidelines on safe drinking. According to the CCSA, consuming more than two alcoholic drinks per week puts you at moderate risk of adverse health consequences associated with alcohol, such as cancer, liver disease, and cardiovascular disease. Additionally, the report suggests that three to six standard drinks a week puts you at risk for more than seven cancers.
Those recommendations echo a World Health Organization statement earlier this year stating that “when it comes to alcohol consumption, there is no safe amount that does not affect health.
SPEED
Who sets the speed limits in Mexico?
A. Article 49 of the Mobility Law establishes that the federation, state and municipal governments must include general provisions on road safety in their traffic regulations.
Therefore, speed limits were established that will apply in all corners of the country:
30 km/h on secondary streets, that is, they are located in neighborhoods and neighborhoods and connect with primary roads.
50 km/h in primary avenues: avenues, boulevards and roads (generally they are traffic lightized).
80 km/h in central lanes of avenues with controlled access, viaducts, peripherals and avenues without traffic lights.
80 km/h on state highways outside urban areas; 50 km/h within urban areas.
No intersection, regardless of the nature of the road, may have an operating speed greater than 50 km/h in any of its accesses.
The new speed limits on federal highways: for users of highways or highways under federal jurisdiction there will also be speed limits depending on the type of vehicle operated:
110 km/h for cars.
95 km/h for buses.
80 km/h for the transport of goods and merchandise.
BOXING
There has been a lot of talk about the problems of boxing in the Olympics, has it already been decided if there will be boxing in the Paris games?
A. Currently, the International Olympic Committee Boxing Task Force, which oversaw the sport at Tokyo 2020, is in charge of organizing the sport at Paris 2024.
Even though boxing has been part of the Olympic program since St. Louis 1904, with the exception of Stockholm 1912, since the sport was prohibited in Sweden at that time, now not only Paris 2024 is being debated, but its permanence within the official program of sports for the Olympic Games.
There are problems with their leadership, accusations of corruption, etc., and at the recent Global Boxing Forum in Abu Dhabi, the president of the Federation, Umar Kremlev, stated that AIBA had done everything that the IOC had asked of them and warned them that they would no longer accept any interference. “Don’t dictate things to us, don’t tell us how to live,” he told delegates when he spoke about the IOC.
