Alcohol consumption as a cause of cancer

[virtualx]

What does it mean when we say that a substance causes cancer? It most certainly doesn't mean that if a person is exposed to that substance he would get cancer. What it means is that exposure to that substance increases the risk.

You are right, its a higher probability. Pollution of cars, smoking, there are many things that could increase the risk. The solution lies with better treatment, even animals can get cancer and they never smoke or drink

A way to legitimate Islam ? I'd rather live not that long with pleasure that long without any substance and most people will agree with me.

Let me disagree with you . Life is good! Why spoil it with alcohol ?! Drunk people do not live their lives . Do you agree to share their years of alcoholism with a demon ?! Is not it better to spend this time with friends and family ? At least , it will be much more useful.

Of course yes. I'm not talking about strong alcoholism, but about people drinking a cup of wine everyday, as a little pleasure.

Alcohol can cause cancer if you drink it too much but if you are not drinking alcohol too much ot can be healthy for your organs inside your body.They are many proofs that alcohol is healty if you dont drink too much.So if you want drink alcohol buy it in Croatia because best alcohol is in Croatia.Croatia is 3rd im drinking alcohol in Europe.Best beers in whole world are Osječko,Karlovačko and Sokol.

Though I don't really know anything about how small amounts of alcohol can be healthy, but I agree with the first part of your statement.

I think alcohol becomes really dangerous and may cause diseases like cancer only when someone drinks too much for many years.
Of course, there might be some congenital problems with liver or kidneys, or some other deseases like HCV that degrade the work of somebody's organs...but this cases are rare I think, because people in these conditions know that they shouldn't mess up with alcohol at all.

Yep I agree with it.  My uncle before died because of liver cancer.  It is because of his too much alcohol drinking starting when he was on his teenage days up to his adulthood.  Now he is dead.  And it is also the condition of my cousin who is deluging himself with alcohol like a water.  He drinks it even in the morning.  It is like his alternative for coffee.
