Labelling alcohol with a message that states that acetaldehyde is carcinogenic I have no issue with.
However, if this is going to be anything like smoking, the labels won't be there for the sake of informing, they'll be there as an emotional appeal. They'll start out as "surgeon general recommends", then they'll become high contrast, then they'll start putting gross pictures on it, then all beer bottles will be one colour and hidden away behind a counter.
If pubs end up having to have pint glasses with a picture of an inflated liver or something equally disgusting it would frankly not be informational but abusive.
It'd be an attempt to shame people into submission.
I fully expect to see this within my lifetime and it honestly just sickens me. Fuck off, man, just give me the information and let me decide.
