The U.S. surgeon general stated that alcohol is a leading cause of cancer, advocating for warning labels on alcoholic beverages similar to those on cigarette packs.
Dr. Vivek Murthy highlighted that alcohol directly contributes to 100,000 cancer cases and 20,000 related deaths each year, emphasizing the need for updated warning labels.
