The anti-smoking zealots absence from this thread would be even more hilarious than them doing the whole "only a moron would knowingly do something that causes cancer" thing.

Finding that balance where one can drink enough to die of something else first rather than cancer?

Road accident, liver failure, Dutch courage (is it racist to say that?), heart failure, etc.

I find it interesting that the med researchers feel so confident in their findings on this matter. People who drink alcohol, also eat meat and/or smoke, and/or drink polluted water, and/or breathe polluted air, and/or smoke, and/or have a genetic predisposition to cancer, and/or, etc., etc. All apparently contributors to increased cancer risk. So, I wonder where/what is the control for this study? Not a Wiley subscriber so can't see any of the original papers.

I'd be fascinated to see whether there is a direct correlation for increased incidence of cancer in those who drink because they are lonely, sad, depressed, stressed in other ways, etc.
