The odds of developing lethal prostate cancer may be stacked against high consumers of alcohol.

This study investigated the alcohol-prostate cancer connection theory. Researchers utilized data obtained from 19 studies.

Researchers discovered that alcohol consumers were prone to suffer from the lethal form of prostate cancer. "In conclusion, this study suggests that there is some evidence of an association between high alcohol consumption and an increased risk of incidence of fatal prostate cancer in healthy subjects," the authors noted.
