Alcoholic drinks are a leading cause of cancer and should carry a warning about that risk on their label, US Surgeon-General Dr Vivek Murthy said on Jan 3 (2025).
Alcohol is a factor in nearly 100,000 newly-diagnosed cancers each year and roughly 20,000 deaths from the disease in the United States, he noted in an advisory intended to focus the public’s attention on the health risk.
