Table 1 shows the increase in risk associated with consumption of 1g per day of alcohol. The estimates in these studies had been adjusted for major confounders, notably smoking. With respect to breast cancer, the estimate was derived from a meta-analysis of 53 studies, conducted by the Collaborative Group on Hormonal Factors in Breast Cancer (Hamajima et al, 2002), which found that the risk was increased by 7.1% for every 10 g of daily alcoholintake. The values observed in subsequent studies are not substantially different. A pooled analysis of six cohort studies with data on alcohol and dietary factors found that the risk of breast cancer increased monotonically with increasing intake of alcohol; the multivariate relative risk (RR) for a 10-g per day increase in alcohol was 1.09 (95% CI ¼ 1.04–1.13; Smith-Warner et al, 1998). The EPIC study (Tjønneland et al, 2007) found that the risk was 1.03 (95% CI ¼ 1.01–1.05) per 10-g per day recent alcohol intake, whereas in the Million Women Study the increase in risk associated with 10 g per day intake was 12%(Allen et al, 2009). With respect to cancers of the colorectum, a pooled analysis of eight cohort studies reported a borderline statistically significant 16% risk increase for people drinking 30–45g per day of alcohol and a significant 41% risk increase for people drinking X45 g per day (Cho et al, 2004). A more recent meta-analysis of cohort studies found a 15% increase in the risk of colon or rectal cancer for an increase of 100g alcohol intake per week (Moskal et al, 2007), with no difference between men and women. In the EPIC study (Ferrari et al, 2007), the effect was a bit weaker, with alcohol intake at study baseline increasing colorectal cancer risk by 9% per 15 g per day, a risk greater for rectal cancer than for cancer of the distal colon, which in turn was greater than the risk for cancer of the proximal colon. In the WCRF (2007) report, a meta-analysis of eight studies of colon cancer yielded a combined RR of 1.09 (1.03–1.14) per 10g intake per day, and a meta-analysis of nine studies of rectal cancer yielded an RR of 1.06 (1.01–1.12) per 10 g intake per day.The means in the meta-analyses of Cho et al(2004), Moskal et al (2007), the EPIC study (Ferrari et al, 2007) and WCRF (2007) are 0.75% per gram alcohol per day for colon cancer and 0.85% per gram per day for rectal cancer. As these estimates are similar, the global figure of 0.8% per gram (increase of 0.008 per gram per day) was used for colorectal cancer as a whole (Table 1). For the remaining cancers, the meta-analysis of Corrao et al (2004) was used to estimate the RRs. They present RRs associated with a mean intake of 0, 25, 50 and 100 g of alcohol per day. The RR per gram of alcohol intake was estimated by assuming a log–linear relationship between exposure and risk, so that:
