The Connection Between Alcohol And Cancer:
Light drinking, moderate drinking, and heavy drinking all increase a person’s risk of some cancers. For light drinkers, the risk of developing cancer over time is low, but still present. For heavy drinkers or those with an alcohol use disorder (AUD), the risk of developing certain cancers increases as a person ages. Alcohol consumption can cause breast, liver, esophageal, colorectal, and head & neck cancer.
