22 Research Questions to Resolve Is the overall modest association driven by confounding? Support against from dose-response biological mechanisms Do genetic differences in alcohol metabolism modify the association Fast metabolizers in risk from alcohol consumption Do women at high-risk of breast cancer also face a greater increase in risk from moderate alcohol consumption?
