The study involved working out the odds (not risk per se) of developing any cancer at various time points for drinkers compared to nondrinkers This makes the absolute risk quite challenging to calculatepic.twitter.com/gxZbYRMdY8

Sometimes I estimate absolute risk based on population figures, but it's pretty hard to do that for 10 years of drinking for ALL cancerspic.twitter.com/assHLNiDQx

The authors of the study could fix this, because they used Stata and estimating absolute risk differences for a function is a simple command, but without doing that it's an enormous amount of work to come to even a rough guess
