Can't they just drop this continual plethora of bad news health stories for a few weeks?

This time it is related to even moderate booze intake.
"Drinking just one pint of beer a day increases the risk of liver and bowel cancer by a fifth, a health expert has warned.
A large glass of wine or a couple of spirits such as vodka or gin can have the same damaging effect, she said.
Dr Rachel Thompson, science programme manager for World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF), warned that just two units of alcohol a day increases the risk of bowel cancer by 18% and the risk of liver cancer by a fifth".
I don't know about you but these so-called "health experts" are getting right on my threepennies.
On the plus side, although I do have a daily intake of 2 cans (sometimes 3 if I really feel like pushing the boat out) it is only Carlsberg or whatever other horrible muck is on offer so I should be OK! :thumright:
PS - What happened to the other recent story that said a glass of red wine a day was GOOD for you????? Make your bloody minds up!
