Dr. Nancy Snyderman (NBC's medical expert) was interviewed about this study on MSNBC this afternoon. She is a head and neck cancer surgeon by training (and noted that on-air) so talked a bit about cancers of the mouth and throat and their link to alcohol.

Here are a Washington Post story about the study and a posting on the website of Cancer Research UK, which sponsored the study and is the UK's leading funder of cancer research. Both note that the link between increased mouth/throat cancers and alcohol was found in women who also smoked. (I see that the Oral Cancer in the News section of the main OCF site has reports from the BBC and the Associated Press on this study.)

I'm not quite sure what you are "not real pleased" about -- if it's that there has been no discussion of other contributory factors for oral cancers (e.g. HPV) in these news reports, the study was about alcohol -- so it's not surprising that other causes aren't being raised.
