Drinking more than 6 units of alcohol each day increases your risk of liver cancer. Doctors call this heavy drinking. 7 out of 100 cases of liver cancer (7%) in the UK are caused by drinking alcohol.

Drinking alcohol long term can cause cirrhosis of the liver. Cirrhosis in turn increases the risk of liver cancer. Alcohol might also directly damage the DNA inside liver cells.

The risk of liver cancer is higher in heavy drinkers who have hepatitis B, C or D virus infections compared to those who drink moderate amounts of alcohol or don't drink at all.

Our nature-based recovery group in Kintyre featured on BBC One this week, in a piece looking at how Scotland's drug supply is changing.
It's one of the ways we support people in recovery locally, delivered with funding from Argyll and Bute ADP.
Gareth Balmer, our National Harm Reduction Lead, spoke to the BBC about the risks people are facing from new synthetic drugs, and why support like this matters more than ever.
If you're worried about your own drug or alcohol use, or someone else's, we're here. No judgement, just support.
The full BBC report is in the comments.
