Search Results for 'alcohol-related cancers'

Most people are aware of the cancer risks associated with smoking. We see warnings on tobacco products and packaging, hear regularly about quit smoking campaigns, and are constantly reminded about how bad cigarettes are for our health. However, much less is spoken about the dangers of alcohol and how it is a risk factor for cancer.

Drinkaware, the national charity working to prevent and reduce alcohol misuse in Ireland, is urging consumers to be aware of the link between alcohol and the risk of developing certain cancers, and how changes to drinking habits can help reduce that risk.
