Most Americans still don’t know that alcohol can cause cancer — and the alcohol industry is working hard to make sure it stays that way

Most Americans still don’t know that alcohol can cause cancer — and the alcohol industry is working hard to make sure it stays that way.
For the past three years, the industry,
aided by its allies in Congress and later the Trump administration,
has sought to discredit and eventually bury a major analysis
that offers new evidence of the link between drinking alcohol and getting sick and dying from various causes, including cancer.
It appears their campaign has succeeded. Three co-authors on the Alcohol Intake and Health Study, which was commissioned in early 2022 by the US Department of Health and Human Services under President Joe Biden, told Vox that they were informed last month that the Trump administration did not intend to publish the final draft of the study or its findings.
