Read a very interesting medical journal back in the 90's when he was sick. It said that alcohol consumption increases your risk of mouth cancers in combination with smoking. The alcohol cuts the protective mucosa on your mouth lining, gums and tongue, allowing freeer access to tissue by the carcinogens in smoking.
He had a sore on his tongue that turned out to be a tumor. It was the size of a quarter when they removed it. Then it was a cancerous lymph node in his neck. Then it was in his esophagus and lungs. Then it was in his bones, liver and brain and he was dead. He'd give up all the beers and smokes if he knew then what he knows now.
Funny because he had seemed to be so much older (I was only 26 when he died) back then. Now my husband is 42 and it freaks me out to think about him dying so young. I had no idea how young 42 was until I got up here close enough to see it.

Smoking doesnt cause cancer.
