Cancer Warning: It often starts as a joke. A drink at a party, toast at a wedding or a peg to “fit in.” Nobody thinks about consequences in that moment. Alcohol is sold as fun, friendship, and freedom. But what if that same habit is quietly setting the stage for something far more serious?
A recent video by cancer healer Dr Tarang Krishna has sparked fresh debate online. His message is blunt and uncomfortable. Alcohol is not harmless, and the damage does not always wait for old age or heavy addiction to show up.
What we treat as normal may be costing us far more than we realise.
How Drinking Became A Social Pressure
Dr Tarang Krishna points out how deeply alcohol has entered everyday culture. Old songs openly celebrate drinking. New songs do the same, often linking alcohol with friendship, bonding, and happiness. Over time, this messaging has shaped behaviour.
Today, many parties feel incomplete without alcohol. Weekends revolve around it. If someone chooses not to drink, they often face awkward questions or subtle pressure. People are made to feel that refusing alcohol means refusing fun.
This mindset has turned drinking into a compulsion rather than a choice. According to Dr Krishna, this is exactly how alcohol culture slowly hollows out society. It normalises something that should be questioned.
Cancer Warning: What Alcohol Does Inside Your Body
Here is the part most people never think about.
Alcohol has been classified by the World Health Organisation as a Group 1 carcinogen. This places it in the same category as substances known to cause cancer in humans. When you drink, your body breaks alcohol down into acetaldehyde. This is a toxic chemical. It directly damages DNA. Once DNA is damaged, the risk of cancer cells forming rises.
Many people brush this off. They say one drink cannot hurt. Or two drinks are fine. But addiction does not start with excess. It starts with permission.
Over time, alcohol increases the risk of several cancers. These include liver cancer, colon cancer, and mouth cancer. The danger is not limited to heavy drinkers. Even social drinkers are exposed to this risk.
That is what makes this warning uncomfortable. The damage is silent. You do not feel it immediately. But the process begins inside the body long before symptoms appear.
Dr Krishna’s message is that moderation is not the solution. Quitting is.
Alcohol is marketed as harmless fun. But science tells a different story. Culture tells us to drink. Health tells us to pause. So the real question is simple. Will you still drink, knowing what it does inside your body?
Sometimes, the hardest truths are the ones we need to hear the most.
