A new report released by the World Health Organization (2020) indicates that 4% (750,000) of total global cancer diagnoses in 2020 were attributed to alcohol consumption. While most of the cases were due to excessive drinking, the WHO study did show a correlation between light and moderate drinking, believed to be present in 100,000 of the 750,000 cases reported. Alcohol consumption is strongly correlated with an increased risk of head and neck, esophageal, liver, colon, rectal, and breast cancers.
