Yes sure
Drinking alcohol increases the risk of throat and throat cancers and sound box
Also stomach, breast and colon
There is plenty of good published epidemiological data on this. However, the relationships are quite different for different types and sites of cancer.
Yes. there was a study that came out. I have it in my office and can’t remember it off hand. But I believe it refutes the glass-of-wine-a-day-ism. Also, I am pretty sure, based on some research I did in the past, it’s highly correlated with pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer in that alcohol might, in my opinion, be a moderator variable which increases the likelihood of progressive disease of the organ.
I meant to add that, in my opinion, it seems localized to sites in the tail of he pancreas.
Yes, for at least 7 types.

Yes there is and that is especially prevalent among Asians who have not that effective enzymes like acetaldehyde dehyrogenase, which leads to heptocyte damage causing aggravation of liver disease and maybe hepato-cellular carcinoma (HCC)
I don´t know much about cancer, the consecuences and effects, but I think that a colon cancer haven´t been relationated with alcohol consumption.

Drinking alcohol may raise the risk of some cancers. Drinking any kind of alcohol can contribute to cancers especially those of the mouth, throat, larynx, esophagus, colon, rectum, liver, and breast (in women). The less alcohol you drink, the lower the risk of cancer.
