Doctors call for warnings on 'proven link between alcohol and cancer' to be displayed on alcoholic drinks

Breast cancer surgeon Dr Isabel Rubio said: 'The link between alcohol consumption and breast cancer is scientifically undeniable. Yet awareness of this fact remains low across Europe.' 

Health warnings on alcoholic drinks around the “proven link between alcohol and cancer” are needed, more than 20 health groups across Europe have said. 

The groups warned “alcohol is a known carcinogen and decades of robust science clearly link consumption to at least seven types of cancer, including breast cancer".
