    Well, the WHO puts it in the same category as tobacco. Is tobacco just strongly correlated to cancer? And I don’t need to say it is causative, because The Lancet did.

    You can stack that data up against your anecdotes however you like.

      Did you read that paper? I don’t believe it supports your argument.

      The mechanism by which smoking causes e.g. lung cancer and the significant rate at which it does so is well understood. I’m it convinced the same can currently be said of alcohol.
