The current alcohol warning label has been in place since 1988.

It states that drinking poses risks during pregnancy or while driving, along with a notice that alcohol, quote, may cause health harms.

But research shows people tend to tune out these warnings.

In a new study, researchers tested eight revised labels that included disease advisory language with more than 1,000 U.S.

adults who had at least one drink a week.

Study co-author Anna Grumman of Stanford says participants ranked all of the new warnings more effective than the current one.

Studies show a link to at least seven types of cancer.

The more people drink, the higher the risk.

The current alcohol warning label has been in place since 1988.

It states that drinking poses risks during pregnancy or while driving, along with a notice that alcohol, quote, may cause health harms.

But research shows people tend to tune out these warnings.

In a new study, researchers tested eight revised labels that included disease advisory language with more than 1,000 U.S.

adults who had at least one drink a week.

Study co-author Anna Grumman of Stanford says participants ranked all of the new warnings more effective than the current one.

So most people weren't aware that alcohol contributes to cancer.

Studies show a link to at least seven types of cancer.

The more people drink, the higher the risk.
