It depends/Low.: At your age you should not have a high chance of getting throat cancer. However, if you do a lot of drinking, smoking, and chew lots of tobacco, you could get it early, especially if you are susceptable. It usually is seeen at around 50 years of age. If your voice is hoarse from drinking, you would be well advised to drink a lot less and not binge drink. Otherwise see your doctor for treatment.

Agree with Dr. W: An additional risk factor is HPV infection. Get HPV vaccine.
