Is there a scientific consensus on 0.1g-7g/week of alcohol causing cancer? I know there are studies that exclude former drinkers in the reference group that purport it, but it's not clear to me.

And I have not seen studies that show <7g/week of wine drinking causing cancer.

7g of wine at 15% would be ~1.15g of alcohol. This does fall in the range but we should pay attention to the specificity of being alcohol and not alcoholic beverage
