Binge drinking: You are describing binge drinking (very heavy episodic abuse of alcohol). The much greater risk than cancer is damage to your liver.

Brain damage: In addition to adding to your risk of cancer of the mouth, throat, food pipe, pancreas, liver etc, you are damaging your liver and most importantly, you are damaging your brain. Quit while you are ahead. Wish you good health!
