You might have heard that alcohol can cause cancer, but how does this actually happen? Drinking alcohol increases the risk of cancer as it causes damage to your body, even in small amounts. This doesn’t mean that you’ll definitely get cancer, but the risk is higher the more alcohol you drink. The more you can cut down on alcohol, or the longer you are teetotal, the more you can reduce your risk.

alcohol is really quite disruptive to human physiology although many might not feel it's effects in low amounts. It also contributes to malabsorption of medicinal products, even in low quantities - an additional risk to those who are already unwell

Does it mean, lay off occasionally red wine? Lorraine

All part of balancing risks and individual choice; be interesting to know who is more susceptible to the many adverse effects (gene profile maybe?) and also its quite significant effects as a driver of ageing effects.
