I agree with this article. Look at smoking, I would say the main factors /reasons are public opinion and expense . It’s now embarrassing to smoke, no smoking signs everywhere. And taxed heavily. Alcohol kills. As many deterrents , like be honest about amount, on labels WHO recommends ‘1’drink per day, I mean health? They put warnings on bleach, the crossbones and skull, every tiny thing helps, why not support health?
I don’t believe labels do anything but keep those who don’t have an issue with it away. Not so for those who are addicted to alcohol or cigerettes… for anyone to think that this will dissuade people from drinking is obvious that people don’t understand addiction. Why not put alcoholism on the death certificate - then the stats would really show the consequences. Don’t forget, alcohol is a food group and no one wants to give up something that gives people an escape - to soothe a troubled soul…
