For generations, the idea of a 'safe' drink has offered quiet reassurance to millions who pour a glass at the end of the day. Now, a peer-reviewed study challenges that comfort, finding measurable cancer risk associated with even sub-moderate alcohol consumption across multiple cancer types.

Consumers may reduce alcohol consumption, leading to lower spending on alcoholic beverages. Households may face increased healthcare costs and insurance premiums if cancer risk materializes. Demand for alcohol-free alternatives could increase.
