I’ve been drinking for 7 years. Typicall I’ve only drank 3-4 drinks a year. If I stop drinking now, would that help decrease chances of cancer? If it does will it take a long time?

An effect can be observable but still negligible in terms of the actual increase of risk.
How do you know? Do you know OP’s medical records? Do you know if he has a genetic propensity to develop cancer or not?
You can’t generalize in that way without information.
We all know anecdotal cases of people who smoked or drunk heavily and lived long lives. And people who were non-smokers and died young from second hand smoke. You don’t know how your body will tolerate a substance you put in it. Some people can deal with things that other can’t.
So saying “negligible in terms of the actual increase of risk” without actually having all the information about a person is a really bold thing to say, in my opinion.
