    The science is clear: Alcohol causes cancer, particularly breast cancer. But the booze industry has worked hard to downplay the risk http://bit.ly/2GVdxTK pic.twitter.com/VLLiHVO5D0

        aside from thinking that a glass of red wine is good for you does anybody not know that alcohol consumption isn’t healthy? Been reading for some time that it’s not good for you. But, people make that trade off. Not healthy but enjoyable for most or self medicating, escaping etc.

        The Branding from the industry that I see more than anything is tying booze to fun and excitement not healthy living.

        And it's legal and marketed daily. And cigarettes cause cancer.... And marijuana doesn't. #Corruption

        My Dr. told me about this data years ago & friends poo pooed me or said “everything causes cancer” to deflect. I thought it was pretty damn important finding. Thank you Stephanie Mencimer for researching & writing this!

        This is depressing! Does Xanax cause cancer too? I may need it after this news.

        Everything causes cancer. My Mom and Dad had one drink a day for most of their adult lives. Dad died at 94 and Mom is still going at 89. I know it saved their marriage more than once (and I knew when to ask for something) I think I’ll take their chances.

        Take away: Breast cancer risk is minimal for a social drinker and increases a bit with increased consumption. SURPRISE: Alcohol kills over twice as many people as opioids. Yet pain patients are prescribed antidepressants that do no good and LOTS of harm. A pox on lobbies.

        Drink today, relax, or pick a criminal defense lawyer or self medicate. It's always a struggle. Pick and choose your poison. I think piniot grigio is cheaper than a criminal defense lawyer. But yes I agree.
