    Can’t hurt

    I think there are 0 people out there who would be surprised at that label.

    Slightly inconvenient for booze manufacturers, like we care…

      I dunno. I was surprised to learn the extent to which it’s carcinogenic. And the fact that there are no known benefits.

        The carcinogenic nature of alcohol is vastly underestimated. At this point, beverage industry is behaving like big tobacco. North America was sold the health benefits of wine in the late 80s and it was always a lie.

      Yeah, it’s like the pictures on cigarette packages. We all know it’s terrible for us, but if you’re addicted it probably won’t make a difference.

      Still I’m all for it, it could help someone on the way to an addiction to think over their consumption.
