A 2023 @theNCI study found most Americans are unaware of the association between alcohol and cancer risk. Alcoholic drinks contain ethanol, a known carcinogen, and there are several ways in which it may cause cancer. bit.ly/3ktrcu2
A bar graph depicts US adults' beliefs about whether wine, beer, and liquor consumption is linked with cancer. For all types of cancer (Wine, Beer, Liquor), over 50% responded "Don't Know."

There is a strong scientific consensus that alcohol drinking can cause several types of cancer. The evidence indicates that the more alcohol a person drinks, the higher the risk of developing an alcohol-associated cancer. bit.ly/3bfM7IA
There is an outline of a human body with seven organs shown that are at higher risk for cancer due to alcohol. Text above the image reads "National Cancer Institute. Cancers associated with drinking alcohol."

A new @theNCI modeling study shows that cancer prevention and screening were the main contributors to reducing mortality from five cancers over the past 45 years. The contribution of each intervention varied by cancer site. Learn more: go.nih.gov/MIC00oU
