Nothing good.

It has been known for decades that even a small amount of alcohol increases your risk of getting breast cancer.

This was not widely reported and in fact was widely suppressed given how lucrative selling booze and selling ads about booze has always been.

I'm glad the link between alcohol and cancer is finally being reported.

As somebody who has a genetic flaw that increases my breast cancer risk, I'm glad that I became aware of this connection decades ago.

I don't drink. And I have yet to get breast cancer. Are those two things connected? I'll never know but it could be.
