After median 10\u2009years\u2019 follow-up, 2531 incident liver cancer, 2040 liver cirrhosis, 260 alcoholic liver disease (ALD), and 1262 non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) cases were recorded among 492,643 participants without prior cancer or chronic liver disease at baseline.

Among male current regular drinkers, alcohol consumption showed positive dose-response associations with risks of several major chronic liver diseases, with HRs per 280\u2009g\/week (i.e. around four drinks\/day) higher usual alcohol intake of 1.44 (95% CI 1.23\u20131.69) for liver cancer (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 547), 1.83 (1.60\u20132.09) for liver cirrhosis (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 388), 2.01 (1.77\u20132.28) for ALD (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 200), 1.71 (1.35\u20132.16) for NAFLD (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 198), and 1.52 (1.40\u20131.64) for total liver disease (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 1775). The association with ALD appeared stronger among men reporting flushing (i.e., with low alcohol tolerance). After adjustment for the total amount of weekly alcohol consumption, daily drinkers had significantly increased risk of ALD (2.15, 1.40\u20133.31) compared with non-daily drinkers, and drinking without meals was associated with significantly greater risks of liver cancer (1.32, 1.01\u20131.72), liver cirrhosis (1.37, 1.02\u20131.85), and ALD (1.60, 1.09\u20132.33) compared with drinking with meals.
