This mechanism works whatever the drink.<\/p>\n<p>The sites affected include the upper aerodigestive tract (mouth, pharynx, larynx), the oesophagus, the breast, the colon and rectum, and the liver [2]. Breast cancer is the leading alcohol-induced cancer in women, and the risk rises even at low levels of drinking [2].<\/p>\n<p>This point deserves to be stated clearly: there is no risk-free level of drinking when it comes to cancer.
