Austinites Like To Drink. Here’s Why We Need a Month Off

Listen Later

Taking a month off of drinking alcohol, during January or in any other month, can do magic to your body, — and could reduce your chances of getting certain types of cancer. Plus, it could also impact safety on Austin’s roadways. In today’s episode, Austin Public Health’s Medical Director, Dr. Desmar Walkes, talks to host Nikki DaVaughn about the recent research from the U.S. Surgeon General, and the lasting impacts of abstaining from alcohol for 30 days.
