Researchers claim to have gained a greater understanding of the links between alcohol and mouth cancer - a finding which may affect life insurance policies.
Around 4,600 people in the UK suffer from the disease, which has a five-year survival rate of around 50 per cent, each year.
Scientists at King's College London and the University of Tampere in Finland studied a group of alcohol misusers and found that a break down product of alcohol, called acetaldehyde, can be detected in oral mucosal cells, providing a marker for alcohol metabolism.
Acetaldehyde can be used to identify cells that are damaged by alcohol, and through the study of these cells it is possible to see how the damage may trigger diseases such as cancer in alcohol misusers, Dr Onni Niemela from the University of Tampere explained.
Saman Warnakulasuriya, who led the research, said: "We are very excited by this discovery. Alcohol is a major risk factor for oral cancer. We have so far not been able to explain exact mechanisms how alcohol causes cancer of the mouth."
According to Cancer Research UK, oral cancer causes more than 1,700 deaths in the UK each year.

Though income protection insurance can be ideal for some consumers, others should assess whether it suits their needs, according to financial commentators.
Norwest Consultants have advised that potential customers scour the market for the deal that covers their specific protection requirements.
Harry Katz, principal of the firm, explained that other types of insurance might provide more fitting protection for some UK consumers and that finding the best cover is "not just a matter of looking at the price".
"What you do not want is to discover that you're ill for six months and it's only going to pay you for one or two or three," he said.
Discussing sickness insurance, he added: "Some of the sickness benefits now do pay out longer term and they are, in some circumstances, just as good as income protection."
Regulated by the Financial Services Authority, Norwest Consultants was established in 1990.

Generations of British people could be jeopardising their families' chances of finding cheap life insurance in the future, it has emerged.
Representatives for the British Nutrition Foundation singled out the rise in childhood obesity rates as a key consideration in the future of the nation's health.
"At this stage I do not think there is any evidence to say that it is getting better," said Bridget Aisbitt, a nutrition scientist at the organisation.
She suggested that although the government has pledged to halt the rise of childhood obesity by 2010, there has been "no indication yet about whether that will actually be achieved".
"The problems we are seeing now are the result of changes over the last 20 or 30 years, and little has really been done about that until relatively recently," Ms Aisbitt continued.
Consumer publication Which? claims in its Kids' Food Campaign that children are currently being "bombarded" with a range of increasingly sophisticated marketing tactics encouraging them to eat foods that are high in fat, salt and sugar.
