A new study by researchers with Kaiser Permanente found that drinking more than three alcoholic drinks per week raised the risk of breast cancer recurrence by 34 percent in a group of almost 1,900 women.

Excessive alcohol intake over a long period of time has adverse effects on just about every organ and body system.
