U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy has proposed adding cancer warning labels to alcoholic beverages, highlighting the link between alcohol consumption and increased cancer risks. The advisory cites alcohol as the third leading preventable cause of cancer in the U.S., contributing to 100,000 new cases and 20,000 deaths annually. This move aims to update labeling laws and raise public awareness, though it faces industry opposition and legislative hurdles.
