Alcohol consumption. A leading risk factor for cancer.
TLDR
The burden of cancers caused by alcohol consumption might be decreased through (i) individual-level and societal-level interventions that reduce alcohol consumption, and (ii) measures that target those risk factors that interact with alcohol consumption to increase the risk of cancer or that directly affect therisk of alcohol-related cancers.About:

Associations between alcohol consumption and gray and white matter volumes in the UK Biobank
Remi Daviet,Gökhan Aydogan,Kanchana Jagannathan,Nathaniel Spilka,Philipp Koellinger,Henry R. Kranzler,Gideon Nave,Reagan R. Wetherill +7 more
TL;DR: In this article , the negative associations between alcohol intake and brain macrostructure and microstructure are already apparent in individuals consuming an average of only one to two daily alcohol units, and become stronger as alcohol intake increases.

Alcohol use and cancer in the European Union.
TL;DR: As a large part of alcohol-attributable cancers are in low and moderate alcohol users, in particular for females, general population measures such as increases in taxation, restrictions on availability, and bans on marketing and advertisement are best suited to reduce the alcohol-assisted cancer burden.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does Alcohol Use Affect Cancer Risk
TL;DR: No threshold for the effects of alcohol on cancer has yet been identified, and thus, abstinence is best for cancer prevention and greater public awareness of the relationship between alcohol use and cancer is advisable.

TL;DR: Increasing excise duties can markedly reduce cancer incidence in European countries, with Germany alone experiencing 1,600 fewer cancer cases in 1 year.

Global cancer transitions according to the Human Development Index (2008-2030): a population-based study
TL;DR: The findings suggest that rapid societal and economic transition in many countries means that any reductions in infection-related cancers are offset by an increasing number of new cases that are more associated with reproductive, dietary, and hormonal factors.

Causes of cancer in the world: comparative risk assessment of nine behavioural and environmental risk factors.
TL;DR: This report estimates mortality from 12 types of cancer attributable to nine risk factors in seven World Bank regions for 2001 and suggests reduction of exposure to key behavioural and environmental risk factors would prevent a substantial proportion of deaths from cancer.

Proportion and number of cancer cases and deaths attributable to potentially modifiable risk factors in the United States

TL;DR: These results may underestimate the overall proportion of cancers attributable to modifiable factors, because the impact of all established risk factors could not be quantified, and many likely modifiable risk factors are not yet firmly established as causal.

TL;DR: Alcohol increases risk of cancer of oral cavity and pharynx, oesophagus, colorectum, liver, larynx and female breast, and there is accumulating evidence that alcohol drinking is associated with some other cancers such as pancreas and prostate cancer and melanoma.

TL;DR: Research since 2010 confirms the importance of alcohol use as a risk factor for disease and injuries; for some health outcomes, more than one dimension of use needs to be considered.
