Bar hopping could be fun especially at the end of the week when you’ve got nothing to worry about the following day.  Well, that’s what you thought.  It turns out, there’s actually a lot to worry about after bar hopping—a lot of cancer types, that is.

The risk of developing different types of cancer, such as esophageal, stomach, colon, liver, pancreatic, lung and prostate cancer, is increased by regular heavy drinking.

So you see there are three parameters:

1) You drink.

2) You often drink.

3) You drink a lot in one sitting.

But it is also important to note that for heavy beer and liquor the cancer link was stronger than moderate intake of wine.

The list of possible cancers from alcohol is long, but the results of the study, published in the journal Cancer Detection and Prevention, vary from cancer to cancer, and type of alcohol.

Cancers most affected by lots of drinking were esophageal cancer, with a sevenfold higher risk, 80% for colon cancer, and 50% for lung cancer.

Knowing this, you can now at least modify your drinking habits if not totally quit it.
