Why YSK: drinking alcohol is such a normalized part of our culture, and it is our duty to educate one another that it is in fact a known human carcinogen (Cancer causing agent)
1- Alcohol is not merely "linked to cancer" or "may cause it to re-occur". That is a half-truth. It's metabolized form (acetaldehyde), DIRECTLY causes cancer by itself.
2- Both the WHO (world health organization) and the IARC (International Agency For Research on Cancer), the world's foremost cancer research organization, classifies the alcohol that we so casually consume to be a Group 1 Carcinogen. This is on the same level as Tobacco, Asbestos.
[Edit: As many have pointed out, alcohol is categorized in the same way as tobacco and asbestos NOT because alcohol is as severe of a carcinogen, but because we are certain of its carcinogenic properties, hence the group 1 classification]
3- This truth is extraordinarily well hidden by the alcohol industry. chronic alcohol consumption is commonly presented as a "risk factor" for cancer rather than a direct cause in itself (which it is)
I hope this post blows up, so this finally becomes common knowledge. Peace✌🏼

Edit: Wow, I truly didn't expect this post to blow up like this. There is plenty to learn in the comments, with people giving constructive criticism towards this post, teaching myself and others things that we might not have known.
Some of the conversations happening in this thread are beautiful, everybody should feel free to share their story if they so choose. And I just want to make it clear that I in no way judge anybody struggling with alcohol addiction. It's also not my intention to impose upon anybody, as I myself enjoy the occasional carcinogenic treat. When I found out that alcohol was carcinogenic, I definitely lessened my use, but I did not cut it out completely. Just be aware of the facts/risks, and use this information to make a decision that best suits you.
Much love
