International recommendations are shifting toward a more conservative approach to alcohol use amid growing concern about its role in promoting cancer.
Even light drinking was associated with an increase in cancer deaths among older adults in Britain, researchers reported on Monday in a large study. But the risk was accentuated primarily in those who had existing health problems or who lived in low-income areas.
The study, which tracked 135,103 adults aged 60 and older for 12 years, also punctures the long-held belief that light or moderate alcohol consumption is good for the heart.
Ahh well, back to heavy drinking then. It was good while it lasted.
Shut up science nerds
We need this
Your liver begs you to eat edibles instead
Why can’t you just lie to us
Cool with me got twenty years to still drink.
Oh yeah it’s cancer for me
