I'm seeing the value, somewhat, but I have concerns over government belaboring the obvious.
Also, I'd like to see how they isolated confounding factors, or st least interactive inputs.
There are so many genetic & environmental factors involved in cancer that I'm not envisioning how they isolated the outcomes to a single effect, especially when the population of "drinkers" is so large & diverse.
