Surgeon General Dr Vivek Murthy says the current alcohol warning labels are outdated and insufficient, failing to mention the significant cancer risks linked to alcohol consumption.
Murthy's new advisory emphasizes that alcohol consumption is directly linked to approximately 100,000 cancer cases and 20,000 deaths annually in the US alone.
In his statement on social media, Murthy stressed that as alcohol intake increases, so does the risk of cancer, urging caution in drinking habits.
The report indicates that alcohol ranks as the third leading preventable cause of cancer, underscoring the urgent need for updated warning labels on alcoholic beverages.
