How many alcoholic drinks per week significantly increase the risk of cancer

Canadian experts have issued new guidelines on alcohol consumption after scientific evidence emerged that a moderate risk of cancer is associated with 3-6 servings of alcohol. A recent study has corrected this data.

The latest research results show that each additional alcoholic drink per week significantly increases the risk of unpleasant health consequences. In particular, the likelihood of stroke, cancer, heart disease.

One study found that alcohol can cause at least seven types of cancer. Most often, it contributes to the development of colon or breast cancer. In addition, alcohol consumption is considered a risk factor for most cardiovascular diseases and liver diseases.

The UK's National Health Service recommends consuming no more than six ounce glasses of wine or six pints of 4 percent beer per week. Ideally, you should drink all this within three days.

The risk of developing cancer, as scientists found, was low in those who consumed two or fewer standard drinks per week. A standard drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer or cider (5% alcohol), 5 ounces of wine (12% alcohol), 1.5 ounces of whiskey, vodka, or gin (40% alcohol).

The risk of developing cancer was moderate in people who drank 3-6 standard drinks per week, and high in those who consumed 7 or more standard drinks per week.
