A new study suggests that alcohol may play a larger role in cancer mortality in the US than previously thought. The research found that the percentage of cancer deaths attributable to alcohol has doubled in people 20 years and older over the past 33 years. Certain types of cancer are at higher risk, including breast, prostate, colon, and liver cancers.

The study's findings indicate a significant increase in alcohol-related cancer mortality. Further details on the study's methodology and conclusions are available.

The research highlights the potential risks associated with alcohol consumption, particularly in relation to certain types of cancer.
