Across 843 studies and ten distinct cancer types, researchers at the University of Washington have arrived at a conclusion that quietly reshapes a long-held cultural assumption: no amount of alcohol is without consequence for cancer risk.

In a moment when public health messaging has often hedged around alcohol's harms, this synthesis of evidence asks societies and individuals alike to reckon honestly with what moderation actually mean
