Surgeon General calls for cancer risk warning on alcoholic beverages
CBSN
The U.S. surgeon general has issued an advisory calling for a warning about the risk of cancer to be included on alcoholic beverages.
"Given the conclusive evidence on the cancer risk from alcohol consumption and the Office of the Surgeon General's responsibility to inform the American public of the best available scientific evidence, the Surgeon General recommends an update to the Surgeon General's warning label for alcohol-containing beverages to include a cancer risk warning," Dr. Vivek Murthy said in the advisory Friday.
