Should the United States follow the surgeon general\u2019s call on Friday for cancer warning labels on alcohol<\/a>, it would join a tiny contingent of nations that advise drinkers of the risk.<\/p>\n

The World Health Organization concluded in 1988 that alcohol is carcinogenic to humans, and it has for years said<\/a> that the harms of alcohol were well documented. \u201cNo safe amount of alcohol consumption for cancers can be established,\u201d the W.H.O. reported<\/a> in 2023.<\/p>\n

But a group of researchers noted in a study<\/a> published in 2020 that only a quarter of the world\u2019s countries require any health warnings on alcohol. Their language is generally vague, and cancer warnings are rare.<\/p>\n

The report from the U.S. surgeon general, Dr. Vivek Murthy, included an overview of studies and reviews published over the last 20 years, including a global study of 195 countries and territories involving 28 million people. The research found that greater alcohol consumption was associated with higher risks of cancer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
