You have heard that alcohol misuse can be dangerous, but what (practically) are those dangers? If you’re avoiding something, it’s good to know why. Alcohol in very small amounts in adults can be beneficial, but for most people alcohol is a dangerous temptation that can lead to the following:
Several types of cancer
