Drinking alcohol abusively over a period of decades has been implicated statistically with the development of liver cancer.

Interestingly, cancer is much more likely to develop after an alcohol abuser stops drinking. That's because it is during the period that the liver is rapidly regenerating that abnormal cells are more likely to develop.
