washington - The Surgeon General of the United States suggests labeling alcoholic beverages as carcinogenic due to the increased risk of developing cancer.

The US Surgeon General, Vivek Murthy, a high-ranking American health authority, has recommended that alcoholic drinks should have a label similar to cigarettes stating that they are carcinogenic. According to Murthy, alcohol consumption leads to an elevated risk of developing breast, colon, liver, and other cancers. He proposes not only the label but also revising the current recommendations on alcohol consumption with a focus on cancer risk. This advice applies to all types of alcoholic beverages, including beer, wine, and spirits.

“Alcohol use is the third leading preventable cause of cancer in the United States, after tobacco and obesity,” stated Murthy. Alcohol is said to be responsible for 100,000 cases of cancer in the US and 20,000 cancer-related deaths per year. This exceeds the 13,500 deaths in traffic due to alcohol consumption.

Medical insights on alcohol consumption have significantly changed in recent years. It was long believed that light alcohol consumption actually reduced the risk of certain conditions, such as a stroke. However, more recent research indicates that even moderate drinking is harmful.

The surgeon general is also known as 'the nation's doctor' and is appointed by the president. The position, like the president, carries a four-year term.
