Bottles of beer, wine and spirits in U.K. should carry graphic health warnings to make it clear that alcohol linked to violence, cancer, infertility, public health group says

LOS ANGELES , July 16, 2012 (Industry Intelligence Inc.) – The U.K. Faculty of Public Health (FPH) said that bottles of beer, wine and spirits should carry graphic health warnings to make it clear that alcohol is linked to violence, cancer and infertility, The Guardian reported July 13.



Such warnings displayed in a prominent place on alcohol products are needed to overcome widespread public ignorance about the dozens of medical conditions excessive consumption can cause, the FPH said.



The FPH said that such images as a liver after years of alcohol-related cirrhosis or a victim of violence could force drinkers to realize the health risk.
