9 Cancers Increased by Drinking Alcohol (Even in Moderation)

It’s been a long day at work, you’re tired, and nothing beats an ice-cold drink to wash away all of life’s stresses. Sound familiar? Many in today’s world love to unwind by having a drink or two at the end of their evening.

We commonly refer to this as casual or social drinking, being a light drinker, or drinking in moderation. Whatever you label it, there are some serious health risks that go along with this type of drinking. Namely, cancer.

Yes, I just said the ‘C’ word. While we’ve known for decades that heavy, chronic alcohol consumption leads to liver disease, including cirrhosis of the liver, our society is not as familiar with the fact that even light drinking* can lead to severe health consequences too.¹

The American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) has sounded the alarm bells on the link between alcohol consumption and cancer risk. Their official recommendations state [emphasis is mine], “For cancer prevention, AICR recommends not to drink alcohol … The evidence that all types of alcoholic drinks increase the risk of a number of cancers is now stronger than it was in the mid-1990s.”²

To put this in perspective, we’re going to take a look at nine types of cancers with a direct link to alcohol consumption. Please note, while many factors come into play as to whether or not an individual acquires cancer, alcohol consumption may be responsible, at least in part, for the following cancers.

*Light drinking is equivalent to less than or equal to one alcoholic drink per day
