Alcohol causes at least seven types of cancer, including the most common cancer types, such as bowel cancer and female breast cancer.
Imagine sitting at a bar, enjoying your favorite drink, and suddenly realizing that the liquid in your glass could be as harmful as cigarettes or asbestos. In this episode of 'Sober Awkward', Vic and Hamish tackle the often-ignored but crucial topic of alcohol's link to cancer. It's not just heavy drinkers who are at risk; even light and moderate drinkers aren't safe from this alarming connection.
With their usual blend of honesty and humor, the hosts dive into personal stories and scientific facts that reveal the hidden dangers of alcohol consumption. To add depth to the discussion, they invite Kathryn Elliott, a former binge drinker who believes her breast cancer was directly linked to her drinking habits. Kathryn's firsthand experience brings a sobering reality to the conversation, making it clear that this is an issue we can no longer afford to ignore.
