Does alcohol increase the risk of some types of cancer? Alcohol does seem to somewhat increase the risk of breast cancer, and oral, gastric, and intestinal cancers might also be facilitated by the drug. Interestingly, a recent review of several existing studies suggests that people who drink alcohol have a 27-percent lower risk of contracting non-Hodgkin's lymphoma than non-drinkers. The complex effects of alcohol, including types of beverages, concentration and amount of alcohol consumed, interacting with genetic factors in the causes of cancer still require much more research for a final answer.

Alcohol poisoning, also known as alcohol overdose, is a dangerous and sometimes fatal result of drinking substantially more alcohol than the body can process. It is important to mention, furthermore, that binge drinking (consuming four or more alcoholic beverages at one sitting for females and ingesting five or more alcoholic drinks at one sitting for males) can also lead to alcohol poisoning.
