Text

increased risk of pancreatic cancer in men. Risk was positively associated with increasing average number of alcoholic drinks consumed during binge drinking (>15 drinks: OR = 4.4, p-trend = 0.002) and with increasing years duration of binge drinking (>10 years: OR = 3.7, p-trend = 0.0006). Risk also was persistently increased regardless of frequency of binge drinking each month. Indeed, there was some evidence that even less frequent binge drinking was associated with the elevated risk in men (OR = 4.3). In fully adjusted models that included smoking and other confounders, ORs for binge drinking in men were somewhat higher than in models adjusted for age only (Table 3).
