Smoking and drinking both cause cancer, yet only tobacco products come with health warning labels. Experts say It’s time for a change. Last week, U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy said that alcoholic drinks should carry a warning about cancer risks on their label.

The U.S. Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy, released an advisory Friday following new research. Dr. Murthy shared that alcohol can increase your risk of seven types of cancers. Among them are breast, mouth, colon and liver cancer.

These labels, which currently highlight the dangers of drinking while pregnant or driving under the influence, may soon carry an additional, eye-opening warning: Drinking alcohol could increase the risk of cancer.

Almost a year after a University of Iowa report linked alcohol consumption to a greater risk of cancer, the U.S. Surgeon General is now recommending new warning labels on all cans and bottles of booze.

U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy wants Americans to know that drinking is a preventable risk factor for cancer, and he issued an advisory that calls for warning labels to be placed on alcoholic beverages.

In a new advisory, Dr. Vivek Murthy warned that drinking carries an increased risk of cancer and called for beverage labels to include a warning.

There are about 100,000 alcohol-related cancer cases and about 20,000 alcohol-related cancer deaths each year, according to the new report.

Dr Murthy has recommended placing warnings on alcohol to highlight the fact that it raises the risk of some cancers, including breast and bowel cancer. If so, America could become the third country, after South Korea and Ireland,
