Editorial note: Darby Hills, “…formally submitted her letter of resignation from her position as Trustee for the Village of Barrington Hills, effective September 1, 2025.” Unfortunately, we cannot cite anything of any significance she contributed in her 3.5 years seated on the Board of Trustees and that is a pity.

The US surgeon general says alcohol causes cancer — and needs a warning label like cigarettes

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.
