Doctor shares '20 minute' drinking rule that can cut risk of cancer and dementia A doctor has revealed an unexpected drinking rule that could protect against cancer.
Dr Scott said that "taking a 20-minute break after finishing one drink, before pouring your next, can make a big difference to the amount of alcohol you drink.
But his one simple method can trick you into cutting down your alcohol intake overtime, thus reducing your risk of a number of cancers and health issues.
Dr Alasdair Scott offered up his “20 minute rule” as an antidote to what he called the “largely ineffective” Dry January challenge.
He said that it is the “cumulative exposure” that is the key risk factor when we are thinking about our alcohol intake.
