Alcohol consumption is an important known cause of cancer.
The Low Risk Alcohol Drinking Guidelines (LRDGs) are based on research and were created to provide Canadians with recommendations for alcohol consumption that could limit their health and safety risks.
Multiple risks were taken into account when developing these guidelines. However, individuals who want to reduce specifically their risk of developing cancer can follow more specific guidelines.
