I’ve seen estimates of the increased risk of cancer from drinking at about 10%.
But it’s really hard to find actual estimates, most web searches just turn up the same ‘all drinking is bad’ message. I suspect the effect is small enough to be difficult to quantify.
Whereas some research puts the risk increase for getting lung cancer from heavy smoking at 2000%, or more. Twenty times the rate of non-smokers.
