Researchers from the Boston University School of Medicine and Boston University School of Public Health have found that alcohol is a “major” contributor to cancer deaths in the United States, even when consumed in small amounts.

While previous researchers has consistently shown that alcohol consumption is a significant risk factor for cancers of the mouth, throat, esophagus and liver, more recent research has also demonstrated that alcohol consumption increases the risk of cancers of the colon, rectum and female breast.
