Résumé :
Key points:
• Guidelines for sensible drinking are based on the short-term effects of consuming alcohol, such as social and psychological problems or admissions to hospital, and disregard the dose-response relationship between alcohol consumption and cancer risk.
• The current guidelines for sensible drinking for the general population are not adequate for the prevention of cancer.
• Revised guidelines that are based on complete and up-to-date scientific evidence are needed.
