Researchers found that every 10-gram increase in alcohol consumed each day was associated with a greater risk of basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, which are the two main types of non-melanoma skin cancers.
The results revealed that for every 10-gram increase in alcohol intake each day (for comparison, a "standard drink" in the U.S. contains 14 grams of alcohol), the risk of basal cell carcinoma increased by 7 percent, while the risk of squamous cell carcinoma increased by 11 percent.
The researchers say that their findings should be "interpreted with caution, due to potential residual confounding." However, they believe that the results could have significant public health implications.
