Most countries don’t even think about health warnings on alcohol. So Ireland’s plan deserves credit for trying. But delaying those warnings? That’s not good enough. A warning that waits isn’t a warning at all.

Poland's Fundacja GrowSPACE is calling for a full ban on alcohol ads with their campaign Zero Procent Prawdy. New data shows beer is often the first drink for underage youth. Time to rethink what’s really behind the marketing. alcoholcampaign.org/2025/07/28/zer…

The bad news? Alcohol causes cancer. The good news? When you stop drinking, your risk starts to drop. Even light drinkers who quit lower their risk.

“While education about alcohol harms can take place in a variety of contexts there is a focus on labels specifically because people who consume the most, and are therefore at highest risk, will receive the highest ‘dose’ of the exposure to the labels.” unsw.edu.au/newsroom/news/…
