Health researchers have consistently found links between alcohol consumption and several types of cancers (namely mouth, throat, colon, rectal, liver, and breast), as well as liver diseases, injuries, and traffic accidents.
The resulting data can be noisy and inconsistent, as studies often rely on individuals to accurately self-report their drinking habits.
Many studies compare drinkers to non-drinkers; however, non-drinking groups often include former drinkers who may have lingering health issues, skewing comparisons.
Skepticism arises from the fact that some studies on alcohol risks are funded or influenced by industry interests, potentially biased towards indicating benefits.
