Calls for mandatory health information on alcohol labels The Royal Society for Public Health is calling for change in alcoholic drinks labelling, citing a public "awareness vacuum" on how alcohol affects health.
The society wants it to be mandatory to include the government's guideline to drink no more than 14 units a week.
Drink manufacturers could also warn of the link with health conditions such as bowel and breast cancer.
But a drink industry body said the public is "strongly opposed to cramming more information on a pack".
In its report, the RSPH suggests a drink-drive warning and using traffic light colour coding, similar to that used on many food items in the UK, could be helpful for drinkers. BBC News
