After skipping through the presentation for this paper [1], I get the feeling the claims of the article are a tad outlandish: "The study, [...], concludes that there is more than simply a link or statistical association between alcohol and cancer that could be explained by something else." But all the presentation uses to back up its claim is statistics and the sample size is small. I assume the presentation doesn't omit any way to draw conclusions that the paper contains. The latter is behind a paywall so I haven't read it. People in this forum [2] seem to have similar concerns.
