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.

No safe level of sunlight by the same logic.

Exactly. I put on sunscreen indoors and people think I’m being dramatic. Same people ask me how I manage to look almost 20 years younger then I am. Sunlight is poisonous.

Are you my coworker?

I am self employed so unless you secretly live in my office walls I don’t think so.
