The World Health Organization recommended doubling alcohol taxes in Europe as a means to prevent nearly 5,000 cancer deaths every year.

Increasing taxes on alcoholic beverages is"one of the best measures" to prevent cancer with a"potentially high impact," the WHO's European office said, adding countries like Russia and the UK would benefit most.

WHO said its model projections showed"an estimated 10,700 new cancer cases and 4,850 alcohol-related cancer deaths could be avoided annually in the WHO European Region by doubling current excise duties on alcoholic beverages." The WHO's regional office said it estimates that 180,000 cases and 85,000 deaths every year"were estimated to be caused by alcohol".
