A study published in the British Journal of Cancer concludes that a woman's risk of breast cancer increases by 7% for every 10 grams of alcohol consumed daily. Interestingly, smoking had no effect on raising the risk of developing the disease. The study included 150,000 women around the world, and is the largest study ever done on women's smoking and drinking behavior.
