What's going on in the body then? If I drink alcohol, how is that leading to cancer? You referenced it slightly there, but I want to make sure I'm super clear in my brain as to what the knock-on effects are and how that ends up as cancer.

What activities outside of alcohol cause great stress on our liver that we might not see as obvious?
