So we know that alcohol isn’t good for us, but everything in moderation, right?
Just remember that “moderation” can be interpreted widely, especially when it comes to counting our weekly alcohol intake. This recent meta-analysis looked at all the studies that have evaluated the increased cancer risk from “light drinking”; defined as having up to 1 alcoholic drink a day. That’s anywhere from 1 to 7 glasses/week. The results came in that on average, this “light” amount of drinking still increases your risk of developing cancer of the breast, mouth, pharynx and oesophageus. Take home message: less alcohol = less cancer risk!
