The Canadian Cancer Society says drinking about three drinks a day could double the risk of developing cancer of the mouth, pharynx, larynx and esophagus, and increase the risk of colorectal and breast cancer by one-and-a-half times.

Brandon Purcell, the Canadian Cancer Society's advocacy manager of prevention and early detection, said research shows more than half of Canadians are unaware of alcohol's link to cancer.

"It's about the right of Canadians to know," he said.

I got drunk once in high school, I didn’t know what I was drinking had alcohol in it. I was of the belief that the drugs I was on and my brain injury alcohol would be a no good. I have not gotten drunk since then, I have more than doubled my life experience points since than so I know this won’t affect me but I think it is a good idea.
