Should Alcoholic Beverages Have Cancer Warning Labels?
Briefly

Beginning in 2026, containers of beer, wine, and liquor sold in Ireland will be required by law to bear a label in red capital letters with two warnings: THERE IS A DIRECT LINK BETWEEN ALCOHOL AND FATAL CANCERS and DRINKING ALCOHOL CAUSES LIVER DISEASE.
The requirement, signed into law last year, is backed by decades of scientific research and marks a significant step in communicating health risks associated with alcohol.
In Thailand, there are plans to introduce graphic image warnings on alcohol products highlighting the cancer-causing effects of consuming alcoholic beverages.
Efforts are being made in Canada and Alaska to implement similar regulations mandating cancer warning labels on alcoholic beverages to inform consumers of health risks.
