European researchers, in a multi year study involving thousands of participants; have conclusively linked alcohol consumption with an increased risk for often fatal colon cancer. Even the consumption of small amounts daily increases the likelihood of cancer, and when only 2 drinks are consumed each day, the increased probability of cancer is almost 25% higher than for non drinkers.Alcoholics tend to drink huge amounts of alcohol daily, and as such they are at incredible risk for this and other cancers, and this is yet another reason to stop drinking...before it's too late.
