A review of data suggests there is a strong link between alcohol consumption and seven different types of cancer.
The study, published in the journal Addiction, says there is strong evidence of a direct, harmful effect of drinking, although the biological reasons for this remain unclear.
The cancers found to be linked directly to drinking are those of the mouth and throat, larynx, oesophagus, liver, colon, bowel, and breast.
Joanna Gosling spoke to Professor Jennie Connor, Chair in Preventive & Social Medicine at the University of Otago, who conducted the review, Dr John Holmes, a Senior Research Fellow in the Sheffield Alcohol Research Group at the University of Sheffield and Sarah Toule who is Head of Health Information at the World Cancer Research Fund.
