How Much Alcohol Does It Take to Raise Your Cancer Risk?

2. Risk Levels by Consumption

Research shows that the more alcohol consumed regularly, the higher the cancer risk. Even light drinking, such as one drink a day, increases the likelihood of certain cancers, including those of the mouth and breast. Studies highlight a 30% higher risk of esophageal cancer and a 5% increased risk of breast cancer among light drinkers compared to non-drinkers.
