Outdated Alcohol Labels: Researchers Call for Better Warning Labels to Flag Cancer Risks

In a research perspective article published in the New England Journal of Medicine, doctors Grumman and Hall point out that the current alcohol health warning labels in the United States are based on outdated science and inadequate. They call on policymakers to implement new and improved alcohol health warning labeling based on the latest evidence, specifically on alcohol and cancer. Doing so would improve awareness about alcohol’s serious health risks and protect the right of American citizens to make informed decisions about the products they consume.
