The Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction (CCSA) released a new study this week that says consuming over two standard drinks a week comes with increased health risks.
Three to six standard drinks put drinkers at moderate risk of seven types of cancer. These risks also include cardiovascular disease, liver disease and also outline the increase in violence. The health risks increase more steeply for women.
A standard drink is approximately just above 13 grams of “pure” alcohol. This includes a glass of wine or bottle of beer.
Something to think about before the weekend.
Did you know? Drinking any amount of alcohol comes with risk.
