Drinking linked to endometrial cancer risk

"Endometrial cancer begins in the lining of the uterus, and certain factors that raise a woman's lifetime exposure to estrogen are thought to contribute to the disease. Obesity, late menopause and early menarche (the beginning of menstruation) have been linked to a heightened risk of endometrial cancer.

Alcohol has been shown to raise postmenopausal women's estrogen levels -- a fact that may explain the new findings, according to the study authors."
