Although alcohol is not itself a proven cancer-causing agent, excessive drinking is related to an increased risk of developing cancers of the mouth, throat, oesophagus, prostate, rectum and liver. Individuals who drink heavily and smoke multiply their risk of developing these cancers. Alcohol is also calorie-dense and so contributes to the cancer risk associated with obesity.
An intake of one to two standard drinks a day (equivalent to 8 to 20 g of ethanol) is compatible with good health. More than an average of 40 g of alcohol a day poses a health risk for some people and an intake above 80 g daily impairs health in the long term. Nutritionists recommend combining alcohol and food consumption, as this reduces the effects of alcohol on body metabolism.
