First time I have heard about a link between alcohol intake and cancer. Is this for real?

Hmm, research not published yet and mechanism unknown...

How about the good effects of alcohol? What is the weight in heart disease prevention, etc. for example? If you have balanced intake it actually can be beneficial to your health!

Like anything - if you overdo it is not good. That's why I'm telling my son to stop drinking so much milk!

Very. Just because you have not heard of something does not mean it is true:

What about possible benefits of drinking alcohol? There have been some studies in the past that suggested drinking a little bit of alcohol may be good for heart health. But recent reviews have called these findings into question and the UK Chief Medical Officer’s review of the evidence concluded that potential benefits only apply to women aged 55 and over who drink very little (about 5 units per week). The new government guidelines clearly state that drinking for health reasons is not recommended.
