Alcohol & cancer risk
An awareness tool, not a medical assessment. Move the slider to see what research says.
Even at moderate levels, alcohol is classified by the World Health Organization's cancer agency as a Group 1 carcinogen — the same category as tobacco and asbestos, meaning the evidence of a causal link is firmly established.
How it works
Alcohol breaks down into acetaldehyde, a compound that damages DNA and blocks the repair of that damage.
No fully "safe" line
Major health bodies report that cancer risk begins rising from the first regular drink — there's no threshold proven risk-free.
Cancers linked to alcohol use
This tool summarizes general findings from public-health research (WHO/IARC, national cancer institutes) for awareness purposes only. It does not evaluate your personal risk and isn't medical advice. If you're concerned about your drinking or your health, talk with a doctor — and if you'd like support cutting back, your doctor or a local health service can point you toward options.
