https://www.theguardian.com/society/2021/jul/13/alcohol-caused-740000-cancer-cases-globally-last-year-study
Alcohol is estimated to have caused more than 740,000 cancer cases around the world last year, and experts say more needs to be done to highlight the link. The figures are likely to be underestimates, not least because they do not take into account former drinking and only include cancers where there is strong evidence of alcohol being the cause. Other complications include the risk estimates not being specific to particular populations. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I still drink but I haven't gotten legit drunk in years, and I'm not even an "I like a beer after work" guy anymore either. I think I could live without it entirely but it's such a convenient crutch in social situations. I don't even mean that like "I need it to loosen up" but if I go to a party or something it just feels weird to not have a drink in hand

I have a feeling this hits those that love to drink and do it very often, if you are the type to have say 3-4 drinks a month it probably becomes a far smaller problem.
Obviously any amount of drinking can have this affect, but you gotta figure the guy that drinks 10 beers a week at minimum gets hit harder. ... Copied to Clipboard!

breaking news - alcohol is bad for you However, public awareness appears low: one UK survey, in 2018, found only one in 10 people were aware that alcohol could cause cancer. Clench281 posted... Yes, the only safe amount of alcohol consumption is 0Indeed. https://www.npr.org/2018/08/24/641618937/no-amount-of-alcohol-is-good-for-your-health-global-study-claims The myth of the "one glass of wine w/ dinner is good for you" was spread by "studies" paid for by the alcohol lobby and it's been found repeatedly since then that no alcohol is still better for your health than a small amount. But it's been spread so widely (and let's face it, it's "health news" that many people want to hear, which helps) that people largely don't realize that yes, even in small servings, they're harming themselves long-term. ...

Everyone is acting like this wasn't already known. It's one of the main causes of oral, esophageal, stomach, and liver cancers.
Is the "new" part of this that it also contributes to other cancers like breast cancer? --- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiCtAUrZbUk -- Defeating the Running Man of Ocarina of Time in a race since 01/17/2009. -- ... Copied to Clipboard!

For how prevalent alcohol consumption is, that's a pretty small global number.

I usually drink about 4-5 units on a Friday and occasionally one other day of the week i'll have 2-3. Been drinking that way once a week for the past 13 years. I'm not here for a long time, i'm here for a good time. ... Copied to Clipboard!
