The consensus of medical opinion is that drinking alcohol is not a risk for pancreatic cancer. After analyzing the extensive scientific evidence available, that is the judgment of the National Cancer Institute, the National Institute of Health, the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the American Cancer Society, Cancer Research UK, the Mayo Clinic, and the Pancreatic Research Center at Johns Hopkins University, among others.
