There is no clear proof that getting early period causes cancer. It depends on mamy things and is many times inherited. There is also no clear evidence that the pill leads to cancer. Alcohol in moderation is also not injurious to health. So you will be OK

You can reduce your risk of cancer by adopting healthy habits: Eat a mostly vegetarian diet, avoid alcohol, tobacco and street drugs, avoid excessive exposure to sun, get HPV vaccine, exercise 30 minutes each day, drink enough water so your urine is mostly colorless.
