2. It is pretty common knowledge that smoking will increase the
risk of lung cancer. Smoking also increases the risks of many
other types of cancers as well. There are some studies that
suggest drinking alcohol may also increase your risk of cancer
There was a study not too long ago that showed some
disturbing evidence that alcohol consumption may lead to an
increased risk of cancer. This study showed that there may be
an increased risk of breast, liver, throat, mouth, rectum and
esophagus cancer. There are other studies that do support this
theory.
Now it is important to note that these studies do not find any
direct link between drinking and cancer. These studies also
provide no explanation of how alcohol affects these organs and
their cells. These studies indicate that the type of liquor is not
really a factor in the increased risk except that the higher the
alcohol content, the more potential increased risk
These studies do indicate that women may be more affected
negatively than men. These studies show that even moderate
drinking can raise the risk of getting breast cancer. These
studies also showed that that there seems t be less of a risk
increase in men even with high alcohol consumption.
3. At this time, the actual increase in risk is unknown and could be
relatively small or generally high. The researchers also indicate
that there are different factors that can affect the level of
cancer risk liquor consumption poses. These researchers have
indicated that it depends on the age and gender of the person
and on their family medical history. However these studies
seem to indicate that the individual that may be most affected
by the increased risk of cancer due to alcohol consumption are
smokers.
At the time of this writing a direct link between alcohol and
cancer has not been identified but there does seem to be some
evidence that it may increase your risk of cancer. It is probably
best if you limit your alcohol consumption if you would like to
keep your risk of cancer down. Also by limiting your alcohol
consumption, you will likely see some other benefits as well.
Overall, it is up to you to decide whether to follow the advice of
doctors and to what extent. Keep in mind that excessive
consumption of alcohol can lead to very serious medical
conditions, even if it does not have a direct link to cancer risk.
