Graphic images of alcohol risks
According to an article in The Independent, Doctors have called for graphic images of diseased livers to be displayed on wine and spirits bottles and beer cans to warn of the dangers of binge-drinking. They also called for soft drinks to be made significantly cheaper than alcohol, and for labels showing alcohol units to be a mandatory requirement on bar taps and bottles.
Dr Raj Nirula, a urologist at the Princess of Wales Hospital, said “alcohol consumption has doubled since 1960, leading to more hospital admissions and associated crime. It is becoming an epidemic. The images should be in pubs and on bottles, on every single drink.”
