1/2 Today MPs for the first time ever will discuss alcohol and cancer in Parliament. Alcohol is a Group 1 carcinogen – like tobacco and asbestos, causing at least 7 types of cancer. More than ever, we need an evidence-based national alcohol strategy which reduces alcohol harm.

1/3 Alcohol deaths are at a record highs, liver disease is rising, & there are nearly 1m alcohol-related hospital admissions a year. The NHS 10 Year Plan lacks evidence-based action on alcohol harm – meaning more illness, more deaths, and more pressure on the NHS. #NHS10YearPlan

Great to see health info labels now on Irish alcohol products too. Labels can be found on dozens of alcohol brands from multiple countries. Why delay what's already here? Why deny consumers their right to know the health risks? Ireland must proceed with labels Micheál Martin

Deaths from drink driving have risen, with nearly 1 in 5 road fatalities now caused by alcohol. England still has some of the highest legal limits in Europe: the limits urgently need reducing as part of a forthcoming overhaul of road safety laws Alcohol Health Alliance UK independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…

We see you, Big Alcohol. Your tactics in Ireland won't stop us. We're gaining ground on the Framework Convention on Alcohol Control (FCAC), and we're taking notes from South Africa's strategies. The fight for public health is on. #AlcoholSaferSA - timeslive.co.za/news/south-afr…
