[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn’t quit completely, but a year ago I cut back pretty dramatically. Before that I was having two drinks 5x/week, and it felt like too much. And the cancer risk scared me. After a year of averaging 1-2 drinks per month, I’m so much happier. My skin looks better, I sleep better, and I no longer feel that I need a drink to unwind after a stressful day. [/quote] I hear what you're saying, but just so you know, you did not decrease your cancer risk all that sharply. Especially if you do other unhealthy things, like eat sugar or lead a sedentary lifestyle. In fact, those two things are far worse for you than moderate alcohol. This is the problem with this new war on alcohol. The link is to a small increase in risk, yet they shorthand the language and now people believe: alcohol = cancer / no alcohol = safe. Neither of these equations is correct. [/quote]
