“Alcohol is a toxic, psychoactive, and dependence-producing substance and has been classified as a Group 1 carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer decades ago – this is the highest risk group, which also includes asbestos, radiation and tobacco.”
I still drink on holidays but I thought that this whole cultural thing where we glorify alcohol was behind us as a species. Gen Z doesn’t really drink much at all and bars are closing down all over the world.
I recommend only drinking socially. In college I drank alone all the time. It’s a very depressing road to go down. Would younger me have quit drinking if I had known it was cancer causing? Probably not.

Be careful with alcohol!
Social drinking easily leads to social pressure, and then abuse, and then making an ass of yourself.
Treat it like it’s a party drug. Because it is.
