Background Alcohol consumption is a risk factor for a number of communicable and non‐communicable diseases, including several types of cancer. This article reports the burden of cancers attributable to alcohol consumption by age, sex, location, sociodemographic index (SDI), and cancer type from 1990 to 2019. Methods The Comparative Risk Assessment approach was used in the 2019 Global Burden of Disease study to report the burden of cancers attributable to alcohol consumption between 1990 and 2019. Results In 2019, there were globally an estimated 494.7 thousand cancer deaths (95% uncertainty interval UI, 439.7 to 554.1) and 13.0 million cancer disability‐adjusted life‐years (DALYs; 95% UI, 11.6 to 14.5) that were attributable to alcohol consumption. The alcohol‐attributable DALYs were much higher in men (10.5 million; 95% UI, 9.2 to 11.8) than women (2.5 million; 95% UI, 2.2 to 2.9). The global age‐standardized death and DALY rates of cancers attributable to alcohol decreased by 14.7% (95% UI, 6.4% to 23%) and 18.1% (95% UI, 9.2% to 26.5%), respectively, over the study period. Central Europe had the highest age‐standardized death rates that were attributable to alcohol consumption(10.3; 95% UI, 8.7 to12.0). Moreover, there was an overall positive association between SDI and the regional age‐standardized DALY rate for alcohol‐attributable cancers. Conclusions Despite decreases in age‐standardized deaths and DALYs, substantial numbers of cancer deaths and DALYs are still attributable to alcohol consumption. Because there is a higher burden in males, the elderly, and developed regions (based on SDI), these groups and regions should be prioritized in any prevention programs.
