10 Common Things That May Increase Your Cancer Risk

You usually have a few drinks after work to unwind.

The relationship between alcohol consumption and cancer risk has been an area of intensive study by scientists. Though the exact connection isn’t clear, research has found that there is a reliable link between drinking alcohol and having a greater chance of developing mouth, throat, liver, and breast cancer. One study also found that the more alcohol someone regularly consumed, the higher their risk of breast cancer.

In fact, according to the CDC, there is no safe known level of alcohol consumption when it comes to conditions such as breast and liver cancer. If you do choose to drink, current guidelines recommend that men consume no more than two standard drinks per day and women keep their consumption to a maximum of one drink per day.
