I did not know Alcohol was such a cancer-causer. Maybe I should drink a little less? :/

Alcohol and sugar share some similarities in how they are metabolized in the body. It's not so surprising that they are both listed as culprits.

One is a derivative or subcomponent of the other I think. Someone who still remembers his Chemistry class is welcome to elaborate.

As a brewer, not a true chemist: alcohol is fermented sugars.

Just don't cut back too much...
