flag Higher alcohol use increases cancer risk, especially with heavy or daily drinking, per a study of nearly 100 million people.

flag A new study of nearly 100 million people confirms that higher alcohol consumption raises the risk of breast, colon, liver, mouth, throat, and gastrointestinal cancers, with risk increasing with intake. flag Heavy, daily, or binge drinking is linked to greater cancer incidence and poorer survival. flag The findings support American Cancer Society guidelines limiting alcohol to two drinks per day for men and one for women. flag Those with genetic predispositions, obesity, diabetes, or who are African American face elevated risks, along with influences from age of first use, smoking, family history, and socioeconomic status. flag Experts stress that cancer prevention requires both alcohol moderation and broader health and environmental interventions.
