Beer Causes Colo-rectal Cancer
Okay. Now for the scary, paranoic stuff again. I slide in and out on this one daily – as is my mercurial want. But here’s a heads up on beer. Even one drink of beer per day more than doubles the risk of getting colo-rectal cancer. A drink of spirits triples it. So if you have a tot of spirits and a tot of beer on a daily basis, you are increasing the likelihood (and it’s getting likelier by the day) of contracting colon or oesophageal cancer by as much as 500%.
But don’t take my word for it.

Beers, spirits and cancer
It’s probably what causes Dad’s death. And he wasn’t a big drinker.
I had a couple of light beers and two glasses of cheap champagne yesterday and now feel a bit yicky. after drinking, I find it harder to ride my bike. The body is trying to break down alcohol.
There’s a lot of good research to say that wine is okay and may even reduce the likelihood of getting cancer, but I’m not really sure how the money is flowing on some of this info. The wine industry was real quick to grab onto the “two drinks a day is good for you” band-wagon.
Who d’ya believe? The point is – whenever there’s any kind of press release, there’s always someone behing the releasing of it. Heck, you’re more likely to find the truth about beer drinking on this BLOG (written by a filmmaker) than you are on a pill-pushing medical site these days.
