Most Americans are unaware of the cancer risks from alcohol. If you were, you are no longer.
“New findings, from a nationally representative survey that included responses from 3865 adults, show a low awareness of the cancer risk from alcohol, and also that the risk varies by type of drink.”

“The evidence indicates that the more alcohol a person drinks—particularly the more alcohol a person drinks regularly over time—the higher his or her risk of developing an alcohol-associated cancer.
Even those who have no more than one drink per day…have a modestly increased risk of some cancers.”
