A comment on Almost half of cancer deaths are caused by smoking, alcohol, or obesity. Parent comment
A single drink is unlikely to hurt anyone, as long as it stays a single drink.
There are a lot of people who can do a good job of not having that first drink, but have a really hard time stopping once they've had it.
And beer is the beverage of choice of a surprising number of alcoholics.
So yeah, for a lot of people, drinking a beer makes them want more.
