Alcohol increases the risk of cancer, but some Americans think it does the opposite, a new study shows.
Researchers set out to understand people's awareness of the links between alcohol and cancer, finding that many would benefit from further education on the issue.
About 31% of participants were aware of the cancer risk for liquor, followed by nearly 25% for beer and just over 20% for wine. Awareness about alcohol and cancer risk was not associated with drinking status. Nondrinkers, drinkers and heavier drinkers all had similar awareness rates. Any beverages that contain ethanol increase cancer risk, including wine, beer and liquor. Alcohol consumption has been linked to cancers of the breast, mouth and colon.
