Featured Article: "Surgeon General Calls for Cancer Warnings on Alcohol"

The U.S. Alcohol Policy Alliance fully supports the surgeon general in his call for cancer warning labels on alcohol products. We applaud the publication of this important report that highlights what the science clearly shows: alcohol is a toxic carcinogen that causes more than 7 different types of cancer.

This article, written by Roni Caryn Rabin and published by The New York Times, shines a light on the U.S. Surgeon General's latest report: "Alcohol and Cancer Risk," and emphasizes the urgent need for transparency from the alcohol industry. The alcohol industry has a long history of opposing legislation that would add cancer warnings to alcohol products; in fact, "The current warning label has not been changed since it was adopted in 1988, even though the link between alcohol and breast cancer has been known for decades."
