Australia Puts Health Warnings On Alcohol
Jul 12, 2011 6
SYDNEY -- Australia's liquor industry launched a voluntary program to label its products with health warnings Tuesday, possibly to pre-empt future criticism that it is contributing to excessive drinking that is part of the national culture.
About 80 percent of alcohol sold in the country – beer, wine and spirits – will carry the warnings, primarily aimed at teenagers and pregnant women, said Trish Worth of DrinkWise Australia, a group funded by the alcohol industry.
