If I stop drinking does that decrease risk of cancer?

I’ve been drinking for 7 years. Typicall I’ve only drank 3-4 drinks a year. If I stop drinking now, would that help decrease chances of cancer? If it does will it take a long time?

Technically yes, but 3-4 drinks per year is such a small amount it's going to make a negligible difference.

Yep, it's like saying that drinking communion wine at church is a risky amount of alcohol.

Yeah, when everyone knows it’s really religion that’s cancerous.
