I’ve been drinking for 7 years. Typicall I’ve only drank 3-4 drinks a year. If I stop drinking now, would that help decrease chances of cancer? If it does will it take a long time?

      Lol. Okay. Your risk of getting cancer doubles (or becomes three times) if you drink 1,5l of beer or half a liter of wine daily?! four and a half cans/small bottles of beer each day? who does that? at that point i’d be afraid of becoming an alcoholic.

        Half a liter of wine is what? Two cups? There’s a lot of functional alcoholics who easily drink a whole bottle at dinner each night.

          My parents are perfect examples. 1700 hits and it’s cocktail time, have a couple before dinner, wine with dinner, and often after dinner drinks as well.

          Nearly every single day.
