  How would you frame it differently? If even small amounts over a long period of time gives you cancer, how else to state it?

    "X amount of alcohol increases odds of disease by Y%". Without values, we can pretty much say that anything increases odds of disease: walking, driving, eating, shitting, sleeping. And what's to gain? Hysteria because there's a million ways to die? Or increased distrust in health recommendations, as they're barely actionable? I think the current recommendations are: do exercise, eat well and get good sleep. They should get you a good baseline. But you don't need to be a fundamentalist: you don't need to obey them 100% of the time!
