Two glasses of wine a day increases cancer risk

We know excessive drinking is dangerous. But health experts in the UK say just two glasses of wine a day dramatically increases your chances of getting cancer.

Dr Ginni says it is true and the more you drink the higher the risk. Moreover, it doesn’t matter which type of alcohol you consume - it’s the amount that matters.

Dr Ginni says the bottom line is that although the cancer council is saying no alcohol at all, there’s enough evidence to stick to the original guidelines that having a little bit of alcohol (no more than 2 standard drinks a day) is probably fine and that there are probably some benefits for the heart.

Kochie suggested that we make a table of all the studies released into alcohol's effects over the course of a year to compare and contrast their findings.
