Alcohol and Breast Cancer: What’s the Connection?

The updated 2025–2030 U.S. Dietary Guidelines no longer include a specific warning about the risk of breast and other cancers associated with alcohol use. Instead, the guidelines now advise adults to simply “limit alcoholic beverages,” moving away from the previous recommendations of up to one drink per day for women and two for men.

However, research continues to show a clear link between alcohol consumption and an increased risk of breast cancer even at low levels of intake. While cancer risk is never one-size-fits-all and is influenced by factors such as genetics, hormones, and environment, alcohol remains a key modifiable risk factor.

🧠 Education matters. It’s important not to rely on a single article or headline when making health decisions. Take time to explore multiple credible sources, understand the research, and talk with trusted healthcare professionals.

Find research-backed information on alcohol and breast cancer at the link in the comments.

🩵💚 Be The Match!
🩵💚 Be Someone’s Hallelujah 🩵💚

As we step into 2026, consider checking off a powerful Pay-It-Forward Bucket List item helping a cancer patient fight for their life.

Someone from the Downeast community I grew up with has recently been diagnosed with leukemia and is in need of a bone marrow transplant. Her name is Suzanne Gardner Lewis, and she is so much more than a diagnosis. Suzanne is a daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother, and a grandmother. She is a co-worker, a friend, a familiar face in our community, and a kind, beautiful human who means the world to so many people.

Right now, Suzanne and many others like her need the same thing: the gift of life.

The good news? We ALL can help.

Together, we can help build the Be The Match (NMDP) registry. Maybe you could be Suzanne’s match. Maybe you’ll be the match for someone else’s loved one. And if donating isn’t an option, sharing this post truly saves lives.

Eligible Donors:

• Ages 18–35

• Complete a 10-minute online eligibility questionnaire

• If approved, complete a simple cheek swab (mailed to you at no cost)

• If you ever get the call, all costs are covered (travel, hotel, meals, unpaid work, childcare)

• 90% of donations are a one-day stem cell donation — donors return to normal activities in 1–2 days

• 10% require a bone marrow donation under anesthesia — recovery in 2–7 days

• Please JOIN if you are eligible
