Before he left office, we talked with U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy, who, in his final advisory, detailed the growing body of research showing that drinking alcohol can increase the risk of at least seven types of cancer.

On the hand…magical moments of soul filling, tremendous craic that live in your memory (albeit, sometimes, a little fuzzily) for a lifetime. Roll the dice.
I mean, with all of what the current FOTUS is doing, we all are gonna doe of starvation, or something, might as well drink my wine and pains away... I'm die happy!!!
Human beings have been making alcohol drinks for thousands of years or longer. We are a species that likes to poison ourselves and kill among ourselves 😭😭😭
Can’t beat the oligarchy drunk and sick. It’s proven to cause cancer, proven. It’s insane to watch people lie to themselves causing depression and a billion cons, no pros. Boss level is to get straight and deal with your demons, stop numbing. Let the self haters do that. Don’t spend your life alseep
Research suggests you can also get cancer from having too much carotene (yes, carrots!), there's such a thing as water intoxication (yes, water!) ... the list is endless.
I know. Excessive consumption isn’t good. Be it sugar, salt, alcohol and carrots 😊! The earlier post suggested that people who drink alcohol, all have a problem. Not true.
And personally: I don’t mind a few years less. I have ageing parents (80+); it’s a miserable life that I don’t want to have.
Hi friend, all booze is horrific for your body. Let’s not pretend. It’s jet fuel, nothing good happens when your guard is down. I don’t mince words when it comes to booze, the the biggest lie we’ve been sold. There isn’t one positive 🤷🏻♀️
i found that going outside at night with binoculars or a telescope helps a lot. plus during the morning or early evening listening to the birds is fascinating and calming.
Before Fired,?! Alcohol f'n sucks, I love alcohol ,but I know FIRST PERSON the absolute danger that is ego,a WEAK ego that is powerless when the ego allows the unconscious over,BECAUSE of the lowered resistance,the filter, that allocates,stems, the flow of unconscious energy: stop drinking
Although not false, Derek Thompson (Plain English Podcast & Atlantic Writer) had a podcast recently explaining what the actual risk is. It’s not as scary as the headline may suggest.

Sigh, I know, I should cut down a little.
Alcohol breaks down the body's defenses and the organs that help those defenses.
and cancer is always a receptive invader.
