I’ve been drinking for 7 years. Typicall I’ve only drank 3-4 drinks a year. If I stop drinking now, would that help decrease chances of cancer? If it does will it take a long time?

    Half a liter of wine is what? Two cups? There’s a lot of functional alcoholics who easily drink a whole bottle at dinner each night.

      My parents are perfect examples. 1700 hits and it’s cocktail time, have a couple before dinner, wine with dinner, and often after dinner drinks as well.

      Nearly every single day.

          Years ago, you’d have been spot on, they are at least closer to neutral. Now they give my sibling money to buy it.

          Might have to do with the the fact my sibling was convicted of conspiracy to distribute, and distribution of cocaine… Weed is a better compromise.

          They know I use it for sleep, and sometimes it helps. Clearly not tonight, as it’s 0411 and I’m not even tired yet.
