A new report commissioned by Cancer Research UK, surveyed 2,100 people in July 2015. The report showed that almost 90 percent of people from England lack understanding on the link between drinking alcohol and cancer.
Among the participants, only 13 people answered "cancer" when asked about the health conditions associated with drinking alcohol. Liver, bowel, mouth, breast, esophageal, throat and laryngeal are the types of cancer link to drinking alcohol.
They participants of the online survey were asked about the seven types of cancer. Among these participants, 80 percent thought that liver cancer is caused by drinking alcohol and only 18 percent are aware that alcohol drinking can also cause breast cancer.
About 3,200 breast cancer cases and 400 cases of liver cancer are reported each year, both caused by drinking alcohol.
