Alcohol consumption has been associated with a variety of different forms of cancer in man for several centuries. The evidence linking alcohol drinking to cancer risk has been reviewed recently [ 1 – 3 ]. There is convincing epidemiological evidence that the consumption of alcoholic beverages increases the risk of cancers of the oral cavity, the pharynx and the larynx, and the risk of squamous cell carcinoma of the oesophagus. The risks tend to increase with the amount of ethanol drunk, in the absence of any clearly defined threshold below which no effect is evident.
