“I realise this can be hard because alcohol is everywhere. It is a personal choice but just be thoughtful.”
The Cleveland Clinic warns that alcohol does more harm than many people assume. Beyond adding “empty” calories that lead to weight gain, long-term drinking increases the risk of serious conditions like heart disease, liver cirrhosis, certain cancers, and even brain damage.
Research backs this up. A major study published in The Lancet found that the amount of alcohol with the lowest health risk is none at all, suggesting even moderate drinking has measurable downsides.
