About The Study: The findings of this study highlight the persistence of misbeliefs and knowledge gaps about the link between alcohol and cancer among U.S. adults, which may contribute to the continuous increase in alcohol consumption. Individuals who drink alcohol were more likely to believe that alcohol consumption has no effect on cancer risk, which is alarming, given the growing burden of alcohol-related cancers in the U.S.
