The U.S. Surgeon General is calling to add cancer warning labels to alcohol. In a recent advisory, U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy called on Congress to include a cancer risk warning in the warning labels on alcohol. He says alcohol is the third-leading preventable cause of cancer in the U.S., behind tobacco use and obesity.

The U.S. Surgeon General has released a new advisory on the link between alcohol and cancer with several recommendations to increase public awareness—including adding cancer risk to the health warning label on alcoholic beverages.
