Laut einer neuen Studie ist lebenslanger Alkoholkonsum mit einem höheren Risiko für Darmkrebs verbunden. Wer im Laufe seines Lebens viel Alkohol konsumiert, hat ein bis zu 91 % höheres Risiko, an Darmkrebs zu erkranken, verglichen mit Menschen, die sehr wenig getrunken haben.

**Lifetime alcohol use linked to higher risk of colorectal cancer, new study finds**
Long-term alcohol use has been linked to higher risks of colorectal cancer, according to a study published Monday in the journal Cancer.
Researchers found that **those with heavy lifetime alcohol consumption have up to a 91% higher risk of developing colorectal cancer compared with those who drank very little**. That risk significantly increased with consistent heavy consumption, whereas those who quit drinking may have demonstrated decreased risk of precancerous tissue.
For those interested, here’s the link to the peer reviewed journal article:

I’m glad that Finland has so insanely large alcohol taxes that I can’t afford to be a heavy user!
So it goes from what percentage of the populace to what percentage?
It’s surprising how often we think “moderate drinking” is basically harmless. But studies like this show that our bodies do add up that exposure over decades, and the risk isn’t just theoretical, it’s real and statistically significant.
So all those years of “one more beer won’t hurt” apparently add up. This makes me reconsider all my past happy hours.
