“There is no argument, on current evidence, for a safe level of drinking with respect to cancer,” Jennie Connor, the author and a professor of epidemiology at Otago University in New Zealand, wrote in the analysis, published Thursday in the scientific journal Addiction.
She added that studies touting the perceived health benefits of casual drinking are “seen increasingly as disingenuous or irrelevant,” given the rising risks of a range of cancers.
Connor’s report found there is strong evidence that alcohol causes cancer of the liver, colon, rectum, esophagus, larynx, pharynx and female breast.

You can find evidence of anything you want causing cancer on the internet.

Studies find that other studies should be studied for lack of integrity, Independence, or just shitty science/math during said study.

I did my own study last night and it found that alcohol has been shown to cause a good time.

You're literally poisoning your own body when you drink alcohol. Not surprised.

This news is depressing. Time for a beer to cheer me up.

Sounds to me like they need to get off their asses and cure cancer already!

It's irritates me when scientists overstate their findings, and staying causation is a often the basis for these overestimations. It has such a high standard.
This stood out a expecially absurd:
Even though there probably is causation, this is a patently unscientific process to reach that conclusion.

The actual journal articles don't overstate, it is the reporters trying to grab attention with a headline

This just in everything causes cancer. We are freaked.
