If I stop drinking does that decrease risk of cancer? - Lemmy.world

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?

3-4 drinks per year won’t affect your cancer risk. Unless you’ve been drinking radium or something.

That’s completely wrong. There’s no safe level of alcohol intake: who.int/…/04-01-2023-no-level-of-alcohol-consumpt…
No level of alcohol consumption is safe for our health

The risks and harms associated with drinking alcohol have been systematically evaluated over the years and are well documented.

Technically yes, but 3-4 drinks per year is such a small amount it’s going to make a negligible difference.

Yep, it’s like saying that drinking communion wine at church is a risky amount of alcohol.

Yeah, when everyone knows it’s really religion that’s cancerous.
