Alcohol is a solvent. It dissolves all the bad and leaves the good. You use alcohol to clean away bad things, open wounds etcetera. If you drink alcohol it cleans away the bad things.
This is simple science and I wish more could understand it but the way the United States education system is set up I fear this will never be a reality.

hahahahahah

also I see a metallic storm headed this way

however this study is dumber! it surveys women only, british women only, and probably mostly white women.

yup apparently it's perfectly okay to have a cancer research charity that appeals only to this demographic!

I am exaggerating this a bit because the actual research they fund is pretty general but most of their fundraising is geared towards women.

the CHARITY is geared towards women but it's completely retarded to base scientific studies about cancer toward just women because there are gender-specific cancers.  until dudes can get ovarian cancer and girls can get testicular cancer, then you can't say HERE'S SOME SCIENCE until you use both in your study

if the wording was better it would be okay but right now it's just talking in general when what it means is "this is true just for white british women and no one else"

yeah i've always been afraid of getting oral cancer from booze but i've never actually met anyone who had cancer from alcohol. well maybe i have but i dunno. i've met plenty of sick folk from booze otherwise though!

Easy way to prove/disprove this: Steel have you EVER drank a beer? y/n

The correct question should be this: Steel have you ever smoked a joint? y/n.  Pot has been linked to the type of cancer he has. 

Link found between Marijuana and cancer.

I don't see how drinking any alcohol one time could increase your risk so much. I've used the hand sanitizer that you don't need water for and it contains alcohol, wouldn't that get into the blood stream or even transfer onto your food that you touch?

This is a statistical study and not a controlled experiment, right?

In my mind I can clearly see why the latter is much more reliable but I'm having a hard time explaining it.

Other factors play a role but yeah wine is healthy!  The entire Mediterranean diet is one of the healthiest in the world.

Actually the problem is that the French diet isn't particularly healthy at all. This is called the French Paradox if you've never heard of it.

yeah he's linked something like that before, said FUCK now i can't selfmedicate

wait, studies have proven that alcohol helps blood circulation and the grapes in dark, red wine carry antioxidants and cancer reducing chemicals.

i'm so fucking conflicted!  *downs snifter of brandy*

because it's just correlational and you can't be certain of the nature of the relationship. you'd have a fairly hard time getting ethical clearance to control the amount of alcohol women drink to see how much cancer they get

it's quite funny as I remember late last year the BBC news website ran a story saying that drinking a glass of wine a day decreases risk of cancer, and now they're one saying it increases it.

i don't trust anything that's not a double blind study but that's just me!

What's the deal with that comic marcus

What's the deal with that comic marcus

it's so fucking bad that it's hilarious, that's the deal with it.

it's so fucking bad that it's hilarious, that's the deal with it.

Oh lmao, I saw the one before it and I thought I was missing the punchline.

the first time i ever saw a funky winkerbean strip was one where it's just this hairless female lawyer and i just remember the last panel being "i've come here today to talk to you about cancer" and i didn't realize it was such a depressing melancholy strip all the time (it is seriously the worst) and so i thought that was supposed to be a punchline and it was just the worst joke ever

Everything increases chance of getting cancer these days.

Living is especially risky.

no but your risk of being a pussy is multiplied by 100

Edit: I'll take the warning but I really hope you didn't think I was being serious
