Excellent paper examining the well coordinated global industry arguments against Ireland’s alcohol labelling regulations.
Same arguments still being rehashed but facts remain the same, 4 deaths every day from alcohol.

People have a right to know the risks from consuming alcohol.
It is Govt's duty to protect people's health, not alc industry profits.
The price of backtracking on labels will be more people being told 'you have cancer' #stickwithlabels #EWAC2025
@MichealMartinTD @CarrollJennifer
This week is European Week Against Cancer & today is Primary Prevention Day.
Alcohol causes at least 7 types of cancer. The alcohol industry does not want you to know this.
Alcohol health info labels tell people the truth about alcohol's cancer risk.

Yearly US cancer deaths linked to alcohol have doubled in last 30 years. Health info labels tell people the facts & warn of alcohol's cancer risk. A delay in their implementation could be fatal for some. @MichealMartinTD @CarrollJennifer

Cancer deaths linked to alcohol on the rise in the U.S.
The increase was seen mainly in men ages 55 and up.

There are significant concerns about aspects of the Sale of Alcohol Bill which are likely to lead to increased alcohol harm.
Ireland’s Public Health Alcohol Act is based on WHO ‘best buys’ of price, promotion & availability to tackle alcohol harm.
Harnessesing the lived experience of people in recovery from alcohol to drive policy change.
You are not alone...
Shared Voices aims to provide a platform for those who have lived with the trauma of parental problem alcohol use; give voice to their experience, so that others too can know that they are not alone.
