Core Tip	The present review suggests that alcohol consumption increases the risk of gastric cancer, especially in men. These findings showed that the sex variable in the association between alcohol intake and gastric cancer risk seemed to be an effect modifier with an interaction term. It is necessary to re-estimate follow-up outcomes after stratifying for sex.
