      ‚The Canadian Cancer Society says drinking about three drinks a day could double the risk of developing cancer of the mouth, pharynx, larynx and esophagus, and increase the risk of colorectal and breast cancer by one-and-a-half times.‘

      A warning seems like the least we could do. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, eh?

      I came into this thinking it was dumb, but overall I think I would actually appreciate it.

      > The proposed bill also would require clear labels stating what constitutes a standard drink, the number of drinks per container and the number of drinks that Health Canada considers a health risk

      It’s effectively an alcohol nutrition label and shockingly reasonable.

      I guess to me it’s a bit of a parallel to putting calories on the menu like they did in Ontario. If I’m ordering a carrot cake muffin at a cafe I know it isn’t good for me, but when you see the little bastard is actually 1100 calories you may think twice, or maybe you say I don’t give a shit, I want the muffin.

      Same thing here. If the tallboy of Fat Tug says it’s 2 standard drinks, maybe instead of 2 tallboys of Fat Tug I’ll get 2 tallboys of something else and consume 2-3 standard drinks instead.

      Or maybe I want a pair of Fat Tugs and I don’t give a shit.

      Adding a purely factual label that does effectively the ABV x volume doesn’t make a difference.
