B.C. MP has already crafted motion calling for alcohol warning labels
New drinking guidelines in Canada were accompanied by a call for warning labels on alcohol bottles, and a B.C. MP has already created just such a motion.
Barron worked in the addictions field before being elected to Parliament and said that work formed a basis for her work on the file federally. “I’m hearing from constituents their stories, their experiences with alcohol, their family members’ experiences with alcohol and how much they appreciate the work being done to bring this forward and ensure that we’re finally taking seriously the potential health concerns of alcohol consumption,” she said.
“This motion isn’t a judgment on alcohol consumption … People can make the decisions that are best for them with this information,” she said. “But it’s completely unacceptable that Canadians don’t have access to this information and the ways in which alcohol consumption really impacts their health and the direct links there.”
Dan Malleck, a Brock University health sciences professor and a medical historian specializing in drug and alcohol policy, called the report irresponsible and said its authors “cherry picked” data, considering thousands of studies but disregarding all but a few.
