A new study reveals alcohol-linked cancer deaths in the U.S. have doubled over the past 30 years, rising from 11,896 to 23,207. Men and those 55+ are disproportionately affected. The increase is 70.2% in men and 15.2% in women. Liver cancer is the most significant risk, even with moderate alcohol use. Researchers emphasize the need for public health initiatives to raise awareness about alcohol's carcinogenic effects, mirroring a recent Surgeon General's advisory linking alcohol to seven cancers.
