“Alcohol is a legal drug, not a harmless ritual.” In El País, Juan Revenga shows how media and politicians help the industry blur that truth, even as science links drinking to cancer. A new WHO guide calls for facts over spin.

The House of Commons Library also published a research briefing on alcohol and cancer. With 17,000 UK cancer cases linked to alcohol in 2020, the briefing covers health risks, government strategies, and plans for warning labels on alcohol products.

📢 First-ever UK Parliament debate on alcohol and cancer - a sobering milestone given alcohol’s classification as a group 1 carcinogen since 1988. MPs call for better awareness, clear labelling, and a national strategy to curb rising harm.

3/3 .If we accept that threats require action, then alcohol policy deserves serious reinforcement. Not cuts. Taxation, access limits, ad-ban, labelling - these are our public health defences. And they need to be strengthened, not dismantled. #AlcoholPolicy #HealthSecurity.

2/3 .But what happens when the threat is internal: chronic diseases, cancer, and preventable deaths? Alcohol is a known carcinogen, and the evidence linking it to cancer keeps getting stronger. Yet in some countries, alcohol policies are being even weakened.

1/3 .When faced with a growing external threat, like Russia’s aggression, NATO countries responded by increasing defence spending to 5% of GDP. The logic is clear: more threat means stronger defence.

🔬 Clinical Insight: A new study in the Journal of Addiction Medicine finds that alcohol-related cancer survivors with an alcohol use disorder (AUD) are 15% more likely to be readmitted to the hospital within 90 days.

NCD deaths in the Americas have surged 43% since 2000, now causing 6 million deaths a year. Most are preventable. Alcohol, tobacco, poor diet, and inactivity are driving this crisis. @pahowho urges urgent action. #NCDs.

New study out of Louisiana spotlights alcohol use disorder as a major risk factor for liver cancer, linked to a 33-fold increase in hepatocellular carcinoma. With HCV and AUD both widespread in the region, targeted prevention has never been more urgent.

Have you seen the Cancer Atlas by the American Cancer Society? Packed with data and insight, especially on alcohol as a risk factor. Worth a visit:.

Alcohol causes 17,000 cancer cases a year in the UK, but most people don’t know the risk starts with any amount. This #CPAW25, @WCRF_UK is raising awareness and calling for action. Learn more, sign the petition, and join the conversation.

New U.S. alcohol guidelines may drop daily limits - but health experts warn this move ignores strong evidence that even moderate drinking increases cancer risk. A missed chance to protect public health. #CancerAwareness #AlcoholRisks.

🔬 In Spain, alcohol is now linked to over 50% of liver cancer cases. A new study warns: cirrhosis is no longer needed to develop hepatocellular carcinoma. Obesity and diabetes are rising threats too.

“Alcohol is a carcinogen,” writes Italy’s Silvio Garattini, calling for cigarette-style warnings on wine and beer. Public health should come before tradition - consumers need honest information. #AlcoholAndCancer.

Three out of four oral cancers could be prevented by eliminating tobacco and alcohol use, according to the General Council of Dentists of Spain. Drinking alcohol, especially together with tobacco, greatly increases risk.
