A new study in the month of May 2010's issue of Journal of Epidemiology opines that alcohol consumption raises cancer fatality risk.

The study depicted that excessive alcohol drinkers were no less than four times more probable to die due to cancer as contrasted to those that did not consume drink.

In the United States, the National Toxicology Program recognizes that alcoholic beverages such as beer, wine, and spirits are sorted under the class that causes cancer in humans.

In the existing reading, Yi S. W. and contemporaries from Kwandong University College of Medicine in Gangneung, Korea evaluated the relationship between alcohol consumption and digestive cancer death in Korean men and women.

Extreme consumption of alcohol finally resulted in higher jeopardy of death from colon cancer and bile duct cancer.

More so, the risk is found to be more in women than men.
