To put that in perspective, alcohol-related cancer deaths claim more lives annually than alcohol-related car crashes (~20,000 vs. ~13,500). Even more alarming? On average, people who die from alcohol-related cancers lose about 15 years of their lives. Altogether, these premature deaths add up to roughly 305,000 years of lost potential every year, highlighting just how deeply alcohol-related cancers impact individuals, families, and communities.
