New research has found that alcohol-attributable cancer deaths in the United States more than doubled, rising from 11,361 in 1990 to 23,126 in 2023.
And the story goes far beyond liver cancer.
Researchers identified alcohol-related cancer mortality involving breast, colorectal, esophageal, pancreatic, prostate and other cancers.
The evidence does NOT mean that one daily drink guarantees cancer. But it does suggest that even relatively low levels of alcohol consumption can increase the risk of certain cancers.
Why does this matter? Because alcohol is a modifiable risk factor — meaning people can potentially reduce their exposure.
