Alcohol not only damages the liver: these are the types of cancer it can also cause

The image seems funny.

A drink, a smile, a cold beer.

But what the t-shirt shows…

is another story.

A story that many prefer to ignore.

It doesn't matter if the alcohol is wine, beer, or hard liquor.

What matters is the substance: ethanol, and its metabolite acetaldehyde, both toxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic.

The risk increases with the amount.

But also with the frequency.

Even “moderate” consumption maintained for years

can open the door to cancer.

Remember that today we know very well that no dose of alcohol is considered safe; the only safe thing is to avoid consuming alcohol.

It’s not about demonizing.

It’s about knowing the truth.

Because while alcohol disguises itself as celebration,

it may be sowing destruction inside.

Don’t wait for your body to scream what you can prevent today in silence.

Stay informed. Take care of your decisions. Prevention also saves lives.
