About this listen

 What does binge drinking really mean for breast cancer risk in Black women—and why hasn’t this been clearly explained before? In this episode of Rooted in Violet & Co., we break down emerging research presented at major breast cancer conferences showing that binge drinking may increase breast cancer risk, particularly early-onset disease diagnosed before age 40. We explore why drinking patterns—not just how often you drink—matter, and why this risk can land differently for Black women who already face higher rates of aggressive breast cancers and lower rates of preventive counseling. This conversation goes beyond “wine culture” and vague advice about moderation. We talk about:
  • What binge drinking actually is
  • How alcohol is linked to early-onset breast cancer
  • Why Black women are often left out of prevention conversations
  • What questions to ask your healthcare provider to advocate for your individual risk
This episode is not about shame or fear. It’s about clarity, context, and self-advocacy—so Black women can make informed choices and be taken seriously in the exam room.

🎙️ Stay tuned for the next episode, where we dive deeper into genetics, oxidative stress, and precision prevention.
