Regular heavy drinkers are actually increasing their chances of having all kinds of the big C–cancer. You can actually have esophageal, stomach, colon, liver, pancreatic, lung and prostate cancer. Pretty long list huh?

The article, published in CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, said that an analysis of 19,255 suicides in 17 states (including New Jersey, Colorado and California) in 2005 and 2006 shows that 28% of adults ages 20 to 49 “were intoxicated when they commit suicide.”
