Alcoholic beverages are classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as a Group 1 carcinogen. IARC classifies alcoholic beverage consumption as a cause of female breast, colorectal, larynx, liver, esophagus, oral cavity, and pharynx cancers; and as a probable cause of pancreatic cancer.
3.6% of all cancer cases and 3.5% of cancer deaths worldwide are attributable to consumption of alcohol.
Even light and moderate alcohol consumption increases cancer risk in individuals.
Some nations have introduced alcohol packaging warning messages that inform consumers about alcohol and cancer.
