> That was my take away, that's pretty heavy drinking, surely? Yes, that is the impression I received. > Per your last para though, we can address more than one health situation at a time My main point with my last paragraph is that people all too often focus inordinate effort on things that don't have the highest payback. Willpower, time, etc are all finite, so it's best to try to tackle the things with the greatest ROI first. As an analogy, if someone is paying 25% interest on a revolving balance (credit card) a month, it's best to focus on paying that off before making a second monthly payment on their 2.9% mortgage. Getting to a healthy weight reduces so many health risks, it's the logical first step in any health improvement plan. Although I don't have numbers to hand, I would not be surprised in the slightest if being obese increased the risk of breast cancer much much more than heavy drinking. Of course, one of the first things to do to lose weight is to cut back on alcohol consumption.
