It is very normal. I think it's somewhat more difficult for younger people to understand because younger people drink less. But if I think about the generation above me, having two glasses of wine a day is quite normal. After work, on the weekends, with every meal that you have. So that would make me a heavy drinker. And then what are the stats saying in terms of my cancer risk profile?

So I also found this graph, which shows, for anyone that can't see what we're describing at the moment, it shows the acceleration in liver disease, death rates and general liver disease compared to other parts of the body. Other organs in the body, I believe it shows. What impact does alcohol have on the liver? And we have our little mannequin here of the human body. Where is the liver?
