Murthy argues in his advisory, noting alcohol consumption is to blame for nearly one million preventable cancer cases in the U.S. over the last decade. About 20,000 people die every year from those alcohol-related cancer cases
They expect people who are drinking enough to get cancer from it to be so into the health food craze to be scared of that? You could eat like 2 fewer hot pockets per year and it would do as much good. Most of these people probably smoke, which is where you've actively made a decision that you're okay with getting cancer.
The hypocrisy of this is just astounding. We put warning labels on alcohol products about stuff that everyone knows (you might actually be worse at driving! 
) but for some reason reason out of all food and drink, booze has an exception for nutritional information. Why? When did this start? What possible justification is there for this? Why in the frick would you print any kind of warning on it if you won't even just tell women it's going to make them fat? Why do we go through this charade of pretending the government in Elliot Ness when there's tax incentives for the wine industry, the beer industry, the weed industry, the mushroom industry. Extreme taxes on the tobacco industry because I guess they were actually the ones really hurting people.
The Surgeon General's office has not replied to MNN's request for comments.
Also BTW am I literally the first fricking person in America who ever noticed this? I have never in my entire life ever heard anyone notice that alcohol makes your product less regulated.

rdrama.net is pro-vaccination & pro-science when it comes to Covid discussions.
According to WHO:
Vaccines work by training and preparing the body's natural defences – the immune system – to recognize and fight off the viruses and bacteria they target. After vaccination, if the body is later exposed to those disease-causing germs, the body is immediately ready to destroy them, preventing illness.
Even after you're vaccinated, keep taking precautions
While a COVID-19 vaccine will prevent serious illness and death, we still don't know the extent to which it keeps you from being infected and passing the virus on to others. The more we allow the virus to spread, the more opportunity the virus has to change.
Continue to take actions to slow and eventually stop the spread of the virus:
Keep at least 1 metre from others Wear a mask, especially in crowded, closed and poorly ventilated settings. Clean your hands frequently Cover any cough or sneeze in your bent elbow When indoors with others, ensure good ventilation, such as by opening a window
Comments that are anti-vaccination, pro-misinformation, etc will be removed.
