Drinking limits should be slashed for overweight people because alcohol causes them greater harm, scientists say.
Public health bosses have been told drinking guidelines should be lowered for the overweight as new research shows they are at three times greater risk of developing alcohol-related cancers.
Data on nearly 400,000 UK adults found even moderate drinkers who consumed booze within UK safe guidelines were at 53% greater risk if they were carrying too much weight.
