AV on Health: The Alcohol - Cancer Connection

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), any beverage that contains alcohol - including red and white wine, beer, and liquor - increases your risk for cancer. In particular, drinking alcohol increases your chance of developing mouth, throat, voice box, esophagus, colon and rectum, liver and, for women, breast cancer. Does this mean no more adult beverages? Cardiologist Dr. Keith Newby puts the connection between drinking and cancer in perspective and answers your questions. And later in the show, Dr. Newby shares his love of the arts with news about a new Ballet Virginia production.
