Moderate or more drinking ups men’s cancer risk

A man who drinks moderate or high amounts of alcohol over the course of his life appears to raise his risk for developing certain — but not all — kinds of cancer, a new crunching of quarter-century-old research data suggests.

The study, by Canadian researchers, found that the more men drink, the greater their risk for specific cancers. However, the link appears to involve mostly beer and spirit consumption, not wine. The study did not explore risk among women.
