Should alcohol come with a health risk warning like cigarettes? U.S. top doctor thinks so

[@fredguy2188]

Why dont they put health risks signs on living in Canada

[@OldGeezerWithNothingBetterToDo]

Because it is still one of the top ten best places to live in the world.

Doesn't their FDA allow foods that get banned in Canada due to health concerns? lol

[@signintoconfirm6168]

Further, it should have labels that indicate that the contents of one bottle can cause an end to your life. Just one bottle vodka can result in fatal poisoning.

It's a risk for sure. But ultra-processed food carries greater risks. The food manufacturers' lobby will never consent.

because it's better than the alternative! illegally produced unregulated alcohol products, with who knows what in it, what alcohol levels, are not the answer

[@signintoconfirm6168]

How about Health Canada's hypocrisy on tobacco then? The dangers of tobacco are also well known. And how about cars? Cars are far worse than either alcohol or tobacco, and health canada simply pretends that cars do not exist.

Here's the kicker. Provincial governments in Canada would go bankrupt without the obscene taxes generated from Alcohol consumption. It's no accident that Liquor Stores in Canada were considered essential services during the pandemic. 🤣

[@signintoconfirm6168]

Just like tobacco funds healthcare, and tobacco users are nowhere near the single beiggest group using health care services.

[@signintoconfirm6168]

When sold as a disinfectant it has the skull and crossbones danger symbol on it. (Lysol) When sold as a beverage it is not any different, it is just as toxic.

[@signintoconfirm6168]

Health Canada product safety labeling is not about the health of Canadians at all. Here's how the health canada official who is responsible for tobacco labeling responded when asked why cars are not labelled too: "Yes, they are just as unhealthy as tobacco, but I love my car." So there you have it. Straight up hypocrisy. It is about money, like always.

[@Jim-w9j]

Crazy you would think the government would want to make it a healthcare issue and then set up a vending machine to distribute free alcohol at the taxpayers expense

Absolutely alcohol should have warning labels. It's not like it's healthy, if cigarettes and Cannabis have them, then booze should too.

[@signintoconfirm6168]

And most importantly: CARS. Health Canada refuses to acknowledge that cars are just as deadly as tobacco and alcohol. Here's how the health canada official who is responsible for tobacco labeling responded when asked why cars are not labelled too: "Yes, they are just as unhealthy as tobacco, but I love my car."
