ALCOHOL is dangerous!!!

According to reseacher,alcohol can foster DNA damage and can trigger the process of cancer developement.So how much alcohol can a woman safely consume??
According to many expert,risk is likely minimal with consumption of one standard drink per day which is equivalent to % ounces of wine,12 ounces of beer and 1.5 ounces of 80- proof liquor.
In addition to its more general role in promoting DNA damage, alcohol affects breast cancer risk specifically by raising body levels of estrogen.
Estrogen-sensitive breast cancers are much more likely to be affected by alcohol than the less common estrogen-negative forms of the disease. Alcohol's impact does not seem to differ based on pre- or post-menopausal status.
Therefore, consuming alcohol drink is not good for health!!
