Greater Awareness of the Link Between Alcohol and Cancer Risk Can Save Lives

In 1964, the Surgeon General issued an advisory on smoking and cancer, which eventually led to a reduction in smoking prevalence, and smoking-related cancers and deaths. In January 2025, the Surgeon General issued an advisory on alcohol and cancer risk, highlighting the International Agency for Research on Cancer's designation of alcohol as a Group 1 carcinogen, alongside tobacco, asbestos, and formaldehyde. New research has found that public support for strengthening warning labels and banning outdoor advertising for alcohol can differ by political ideology. These findings will be shared at the 49th annual scientific meeting of the Research Society on Alcohol (RSA) in San Antonio, Texas.
