A pair of researchers, one with the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, the other with the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, are suggesting that it is time to update the warning labels that appear on bottles and cans containing alcohol-based beverages made for sale to the public. In their paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine, Anna Grummon and Marissa Hall point out that such labels have not been updated in several decades and that research efforts have shown that such beverages pose a significant public health hazard.
