Preventing Cancer and Alcohol Although alcohol is not a carcinogen alcohol consumption may increase the risk of cancer "Alcohol consumption may increase the risk for at least six types of cancer, although the evidence is not uniformly strong. Alcohol is not a carcinogen...but is likely a cocarcinogen, at least in the digestive tract.

"In the United Kingdom, cancer deaths attributable to alcohol consumption above the recommended limits (caused mostly by 'colon and rectal] cancer are maximal for men aged 65 to 74 years and for women at ages 75 to 84 years.

"It is postulated that if everyone in the United Kingdom drank "sensibly," there would be a marked increase in cancer deaths."

Editor's note: The suggestion is that no alcohol is the safest choice.
