    People who regularly drink alcohol have excessive levels of alcohol. Alcohol is not only closely related to liver cancer, but also increases the risk of cancers such as upper digestive tract/respiratory tract cancer, lung cancer, female breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and urinary system cancer. Alcohol itself is not a direct carcinogen, but its metabolites acetaldehyde and reactive oxygen species (ROS) can promote the development of cancer, and its cancer-promoting mechanism differs depending on the type of cancer.
