How Much Alcohol Consumption Is Bad For Health?
i consume 3 pegs 5 days a week or some time Beer (1000 ML = 1.5 BOTTLE) ) instead of Whisky. How it can effect my health. However in the period of one year i do not drink at all for 9 days ( twice in a year) and complete one month in the whole span of year. I do not eat non- veg. and avoid food with higher fat content.

Hello my friend
Thanks for your question on HCM
With my respone i dont wont to scare you but no Doctor will say to you thet alcohol is good.The best medical guideline says No Amount of Alcohol Is Safe. Thay had made some studies and in the conlusion said:
The more alcohol that a person drinks, the higher the risk of cancer is. The alcohol/cancer link has been strengthened by the finding of a dose/response relationship between alcohol consumption and certain cancers. A causal relationship exists between alcohol consumption and cancers of the mouth, pharynx, larynx, esophagus, colon-rectum, liver, and female breast; a significant relationship also exists between alcohol consumption and pancreatic cancer.
Links have also been made between alcohol consumption and leukemia
And in addition, each dose of increasing alcohol directly affects the amount of fat in the blood vessels and the increased risk for heart disease.
The best think to do is to not drink at all any forms of alcohol
Hope it is heplful to you this information
Best regards
