It's #WorldNoAlcoholDay
According to 2019 data, alcohol consumption was responsible for 2.6 million deaths worldwide, accounting for 4.7% of all deaths that year.
An alcohol-free lifestyle is the healthiest choice.

Speaking at the policy debate on chronic diseases in Europe, @NeufeldM from @WHO underlined the lack of progress in achieving alcohol consumption reduction across Europe and the necessity to take stronger steps. #NCDFreeEurope

Congratulations to all the public heath advocates who have campaigned strongly for this well-evidenced measure, particularly in the face of considerable misinformation.
SHAAP are delighted that the Scottish Parliament have voted in favour of the continuation of Minimum Unit Pricing and the uprating of MUP to 65p!

Interesting to see speculation about potential lawsuits against alcohol producers for not warning consumers about cancer risks. Perhaps time for industry to give up protesting about mandatory health warning labels.

Alcohol contributed to more than 111,000 new cancer cases in the EU. These figures emphasize the impact of alcohol on cancer incidence. Let's stay informed and work towards healthier lifestyles! 🌍💙 #AlcoholAndCancer #CancerStatistics #HealthAwareness #EuropeBeatingCancer

📢 Raising awareness on the alcohol-cancer link is crucial! It aligns with #EUCancerPlan, empowering people to make informed and healthier choices. Let's spread the word and prioritize our health! 💪🌍🎗️ #AlcoholAndCancer #HealthAwareness #EuropeBeatingCancer

The UPF industry coordinate a network of powerful actors to counter opposition, block govt regulation, & cast doubt on the harms of UPFs. But which UPF corporations & corporate interest groups are central to this network & the UPF industry’s lobbying & political activity?

Some alcohol industry lobbyists warn against raising alcohol taxes, arguing that the government will *lose* revenue!

Is this really true, or just a way to fool policymakers?
We have fact-checked this assumption in our new paper:

How much do Europeans know about the link between alcohol use and cancer?
Apparently not too much...

We asked almost 20,000 drinkers from 14 EU countries if they believed that alcohol increases the risk of certain diseases
Here is what we found: 🧵
This confirms findings from our 2023 review, which shows that awareness of specific cancer types is very low: doi.org/10.1093/eurpub/ckad1…
And it speaks again to the need of cancer-specific health warning labels for alcoholic beverages, which is a standard practice for tobacco

Бывшая телезвезда, кот Матроскин, покидает большой город и уезжает в глухую деревню, чтобы заняться фермерством. К нему подселяются соседи – безработный молодой человек Дядя Фёдор и пёс-хипстер Шарик, занимающийся плёночной фотографией. Жизнь в деревне Простоквашин закипает...
