Drinking alcohol increases the risk of cancer of the mouth, larynx, oesophagus, liver, colon and breast. It may also be linked with pancreas and lung cancers, according to a report at CNN.com. The researchers advised people to drink moderately, rather than giving it up, based on the belief that alcohol protects against cardiovascular disease. However, this only makes sense in a culture (like ours) where people aren't getting antioxidants from fruits and vegies. Our advice: Ban alcohol completely, and load up on organic vegetarian foods. You'll minimize your chances of getting cancer -- and cardiovascular disease -- and you get the added benefit of not killing someone in a car or forming a painful, lifelong addiction.
