“New research from FAU’s Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine shows that even moderate drinking raises the risk of several cancers. Analyzing 62 studies, researchers found that both the frequency and amount of alcohol significantly influence cancer risk, with certain groups facing heightened vulnerability.

A coalition of 21 health NGOs, led by the European Health Alliance on Alcohol (EHAA), is urging the EU to mandate health warnings on alcoholic beverages. This call, made during Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2025, highlights the strong scientific link between alcohol and breast cancer, emphasizing that even small amounts of alcohol increase risk and that public awareness remains dangerously low.

Cancer Prevention Action Week 2025, led by World Cancer Research Fund, runs from 23 to 29 June and focuses on the link between alcohol and cancer. With around 17,000 alcohol-related cancer cases each year in the UK, the campaign aims to raise awareness, spark national conversations, and push for stronger policies, including mandatory cancer warnings on labels and a new National Alcohol Strategy for England.
