The purpose of this project was to explore techniques in data visualization on a topic of our choosing.
My research began on the WHO website, on a page under International Agency for Research on Cancer that is dedicated to Cancers Attributable to Alcohol. Here, they have public data and analysis tools that lead me to these original data sources.
