Even moderate
alcohol use may substantially increase the risk of dying from cancer,
according to a new study published online February 14 in the American Journal of Public Health. Alcohol use accounts for about 3.5 percent
of all U.S. cancer deaths annually, according to the study. Most deaths seemed
to occur among people who consumed more than three alcoholic drinks a day, but
those who consumed 1.5 beverages daily may account for up to one-third of those
deaths, the researchers found.
