"It has never been easier to be intoxicated all day, every day in the United States ... In 1950, the typical American would have had to spend 75 percent of his or her daily pay (after taxes) to buy a bottle of vodka."

NYC is saying the quiet part out loud: Alcohol causes cancer. New campaign warns 1 drink/day increases risk of multiple cancers & no level of alcohol use is risk-free. This is public health leadership. Question: Who’s next?

Cheaper alcohol means more drinking. More drinking means more harm. More cancer, violence, addiction, preventable deaths. Should alcohol policies protect profits or people? Stop prioritizing the alcohol industry’s bottom line over Americans' public health.

Alcohol is a known carcinogen.

Fewer than half of Americans know it.

Awareness matters.

So does policy.
