The association between alcohol consumption and breast cancer risk was examined in 519 newly incident, histologically confirmed cases of breast cancer diagnosed between 1982 and 1987 within a cohort of 56,837 women enrolled in the Canadian National Breast Screening Study. These women had completed a self-administered food frequency questionnaire including alcohol consumption at enrollment into the study prior to their breast cancer diagnosis. For the total cohort, only a weak association between total alcohol consumption and breast cancer risk is observed, the adjusted relative risk for those drinking 30 or more g/day being 1.22 (95% confidence interval (Cl) 0.78-1.90) compared with nondrinkers. There is some evidence for a positive association in women who were premenopausal at the time of enrollment for whom there was a monotonic increase in risk with increasing alcohol intake. Compared with nondrinkers, the adjusted relative risk for alcohol consumption of between 0 and
