There are a lot of people (alcoholics, partygoers, etc) and entities (alcohol producers) with a vested interest in ignoring or burying this kind of research. Alcohol is far too entrenched in our society for anyone to successfully campaign against it.

All the news reports I've seen connecting alcohol with cancer come from the UK. Maybe because they have a National Health Service that's trying to minimize national healthcare costs? Or maybe because their researchers are less beholden to industry?

Or maybe that's a false connection.
