United States Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy issued a warning to Americans on Friday about the link between alcohol and cancer.
Murthy’s advisory outlines the direct link between the beverage and increased cancer risk, according to a press release from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
The news release continued:
The Surgeon General’s Advisory includes a series of recommendations to increase awareness to help minimize alcohol-related cancer cases and deaths, including updating the existing Surgeon General’s health warning label on alcohol-containing beverages.
“Alcohol is a well-established, preventable cause of cancer responsible for about 100,000 cases of cancer and 20,000 cancer deaths annually in the United States – greater than the 13,500 alcohol-associated traffic crash fatalities per year in the U.S. – yet the majority of Americans are unaware of this risk,” said U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy. “This Advisory lays out steps we can all take to increase awareness of alcohol’s cancer risk and minimize harm.”
The press release also stated that the “direct link between alcohol consumption and cancer risk is well-established for at least seven types of cancer including cancers of the breast, colorectum, esophagus, liver, mouth (oral cavity), throat (pharynx), and voice box (larynx),” regardless of the type of alcohol a person drinks.

I’m 21 years drunk. It’s not true
HA
I have yet to hear of anything that doesn’t cause cancer.
We’d all be dead.
Walking also does. (S)
What about cancer from smoking cannabis ?
My dad once told me that everyone who eats carrots dies...
If this were true, the soberians would live forever and never get cancer. Thus, it fails the fact check.
I have yet to hear of anything that doesn’t cause cancer.

There are a lot of things not classified as carcinogens that studies can or have shown to “cause cancer”. In fact, they say NO LEVEL of alcohol consumption is “safe”, making it sound like you’re drinking depleted uranium.
It’s better to live your life, and despite my previous joke in this thread, I think moderation is almost always the key.
They going to put a warning label on the Mrna vaccines?
I thought drinking wine with meals like they do around the Mediterranean is a healthy diet.
Has the US Surgeon General decided whether men and women are different yet?
Red wine, they say, is heart healthy and is an antioxidant, if taken in moderation. A glass a day, for example. The fermentation process also removes most of the unhealthy sugars.
How about the link between the Covid and flu shots, and cancer. This is a smokescreen.
“My dad once told me that everyone who eats carrots dies...”
Yeah, but they all have great eyesight when they die!
No-various HHS heads over the decades have told us everything we eat, drink, smoke or otherwise enjoy causes cancer. Coffee, red meat, animal fat, grilling over charcoal, alcoholic drinks, blah. blah, blah. We would all be dead by the age of 30 if any of that s***was true-it has all been proven wrong in the last two decades. They are pushing the low fat-but-carb-heavy diet that causes obesity and all its chronic illnesses-how healthy is that? Big pharma wants you to take their unsafe, unhealthy drugs instead of enjoying a healthy natural lifestyle...
Does he know that 8 out 10 people that die everyday ate carrots within 24 hours???
Frying garlic and onions on this morning’s news screedia also causes transfat heart problems.
I guess locusts and meal worms are safe for consumption.
This is the same idiotic mentality that is behind gun free zone signs
