Relax. You are only 24 according to your age here. You are absolutely worried about nothing, but it is good that you are aware that 5 pints a day can eventually cause health problems (but usually only if kept up for a very long period) All alcohol consumption may be carcinogenic according to some studies, but the largest increase in risk probably only comes to older people who have drank for years. Cancer risk goes up with age.

If you aren’t an alcoholic and your cutting back is permanent then you really won’t have drank considerably more than the average person by the time cancer risk starts getting large.

Something like 10 percent of people drink 90 percent of the alcohol that is consumed. It is those 10 percent that usually have the biggest problems from the chronic consumption.

I know exactly zero people who have cancer from drinking in their 20s. I am an alcoholic and it isn’t really “a thing” that even gets discussed a lot in recovery communities
