A small glass of white wine a day could increase the risk of skin cancer by 13 per cent, a study suggests.
Drinking alcohol is associated with higher rates of invasive melanoma and white wine carries the greatest risk, according to the research.
Those who drank a glass and a half of wine a day increased the risk of developing melanomas on the torso – a rare site of skin cancer – by up to 73 per cent compared with non-drinkers.
