The US surgeon general has warned of the risks of alcohol in a new report. | Johner Images/Getty

Story by kschewitz@businessinsider.com (Kim Schewitz)
  • Dr. Vivek Murthy, the US Surgeon General, has released a report warning that alcohol causes cancer.
  • It is the third leading cause of preventable cancer in the US, after smoking and obesity, he said.
  • The report follows a growing number of studies showing the potential harms of drinking alcohol.

The US Surgeon General wants to see cancer warnings on wine, beer, and spirits.

Alcohol is a leading cause of cancer, but less than half of Americans recognize it as a risk factor, Dr. Vivek Murthy said in an advisory published Friday.

This is in contrast to the 89% of Americans who are aware of the links between smoking cigarettes and cancer, according to a 2019 survey of US adults aged 18 and older carried out by the American Institute for Cancer Research.

Alcohol consumption is the third leading preventable cause of cancer in the US, after tobacco and obesity.

Research has found that drinking alcohol leads to an increased risk of seven cancers, including breast, colorectal, esophageal, liver, mouth, and throat and larynx, the advisory said.

The risk increases the more a person drinks, and for certain cancers like breast, mouth, and throat, the risk can start to rise at one or fewer drinks a day, according to the advisory.

Our Zoning Board of Appeals will be holding their regular monthly meeting tomorrow evening beginning at 6:30 PM. Topics on their agenda include:

Public Hearing

  • An Application for an Amendment to an Existing Special Use, made by the Barrington Hills Polo Club for property located at 350 Bateman Road, PIN 01- 07-200-001
  • Text Amendment to Section 5-3-9 Bulk Regulations Relative to Berm & Fence Heights Initiated by the Zoning Board of Appeals (tabled from July 15, 2024)

Public Meeting

  • [Vote] An Application for an Amendment to an Existing Special Use, made by the Barrington Hills Polo Club for property located at 350 Bateman Road, PIN 01-07-200-001
  • [Vote] Text Amendment to Section 5-3-9 Bulk Regulations Relative to Berm & Fence Heights Initiated by the Zoning Board of Appeals

A copy of the 100-page agenda can be viewed and downloaded here.

Editorial note: The two (2) public hearing notices published in the Daily Herald listed the PIN for 350 Bateman Road as 01- 07-200-001. The agenda for tomorrow’s meeting also states, “350 Bateman Road, PIN 01- 07-200-001.”

However, the notice sign (seen at top) on the subject property we photographed Friday clearly reads, “350 Bateman Road, PIN 01-06-401-014.” Not to pick at nits, but that isn’t even close.

Editorial note: Absent from tonight’s agenda is any discussion of the 12th annual The Hills Are Alive Fall Festival 2024 scheduled for Sunday, September 15th at the district Riding Center. Like we’ve noted before, it’s another example of boilerplate agendas to keep taxpaying residents in the dark.
