US Surgeon Gen. calls for cancer warning on alcohol

U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy is calling for new warning labels on alcoholic drinks that inform consumers of the health risks — particularly an increased risk of at least seven types of cancer, including breast cancer, liver cancer and colon cancer.

In the new report on alcohol consumption and cancer risk published on Jan. 3, Murthy also called for the guidelines on alcohol consumption limits to be reassessed.

“Many people out there assume that as long as they’re drinking at the limits or below the limits of current guidelines of one a day for women and two for men, that there is no risk to their health or well-being,” Murthy said in an interview with the New York Times. “The data does not bear that out for cancer risk.”
