Heavy drinking may increase your risk of developing colorectal cancer. A recent study has found that consistently heavy drinkers over an adult's lifetime have a higher risk of developing the disease, especially rectal cancer.
Researchers analyzed data from over 88,000 U.S. adults and found that those who drank heavily had more than 14 drinks per week were at a significantly higher risk compared to light drinkers, who consumed less than seven drinks per week. The study also showed that moderate drinking was associated with a lower overall risk of colorectal cancer.
However, the researchers noted that their study had some limitations. Since it was observational and not based on a clinical trial, they could not conclude causation between heavy drinking and increased risk of colorectal cancer.
According to health experts, drinking has been linked to an increased risk of many cancers, as well as metabolic dysfunction, gut microbiome disturbances, and mitochondrial toxins. Dr. Mark Hyman warned that alcohol "taxes every major system in your body, especially your liver, your brain, your gut, and your hormones."
Reducing or eliminating alcohol may lower the risk of several cancers over time, including breast and colorectal cancer. Taking breaks from drinking can also lead to sustained improvements in blood pressure, liver function, and inflammation, which directly affect long-term heart disease and stroke risk.
While the link between drinking alcohol and cancer is not new, these findings serve as a reminder that moderate consumption may be beneficial while heavy drinking poses significant health risks.

just read about this study and its literally mind blowin how much heavy drinking can increase ur risk of colorectal cancer i mean like we all know alcohol is bad 4 u but didnt realize it was that bad 
the good news is moderate drinking might be ok and reducing or cutting back on booze can actually lower ur risk of several cancers btw taking breaks from drinking has been shown to improve blood pressure, liver function, and inflammation which is a major win for heart health 
I'm definitely gonna cut back on my wine nights, no more binge drinking 
. It makes sense that moderate drinking might actually be beneficial, like, it's all about balance, right? 
My aunt has been drinking like crazy since her divorce and now she's got colon cancer 
.
. I mean, 14+ drinks a week? That's like, crazy 
! I've got an aunt who drinks like that and she's always complaining about how tired she is all the time...it makes sense now why she might be getting sick more often 
. I'm not saying drinking doesn't have its benefits or anything, but when it comes to colorectal cancer, it's def worth limiting those heavy seshes 
! Guess moderation is key? 
But at the same time, I don't think we should be entirely hard on ourselves if we do enjoy a few drinks every now and then. Moderation is key here. We need to find that sweet spot where we can still have fun and socialize without putting our health at risk.
It's always been known that too much booze isn't good for your body. But what's interesting is that moderate drinking might be better than nothing at all... 
Anyway, I think it's a good idea to cut back or take breaks from drinking if you can. Your body will thank you, trust me... 
drinking too much can lead to some serious problems 
which is so scary! i think its better to cut back or even quit all together 
instead of risking your health for a few drinks 
and now he's in a wheelchair 
, thats why i'm all about moderation 
drinking too much can also lead to metabolic issues like diabetes 
and heart problems 
so yeah let's just be careful with our booze
