|March 12, 2025
LESS than one-third of all the countries globally have regulations mandating Alcohol Health Warning Labels (AHWLs) on alcohol containers, said a latest Lancet study.
It recommended the need for mentioning well-established adverse health consequences due to alcohol consumption such as fatal cancers, liver damage and other non-communicable disease and road traffic accidents.
The study, published in The Lancet Regional Health - South-east Asia on Tuesday, said harm due to alcohol use is a great public health concern for the South East Asia region, with the annual per capita consumption expected to grow even further.
