Cannot ‘also can’!

In addition to smoking, excessive drinking also can cause illness.

Actually the meaning is clear, it’s just not good collocation. Don’t write also can, write can also instead:

• In addition to smoking, excessive drinking can also cause illness.

 Indonesians.. Are you translating directly again?! 😉
