Good reason to prohibit #BigPharma retailers, #BigAlcohol retailers, & #BigTobacco retailers...
No more #banking or #ads or interstate #trade or product #transport or #shipping for any of them...
Abolish Viagra too, God said you're done.
Typical of #BigAlcohol companies
- Targeting women and other vulnerable groups ✅
- Denying overwhelming evidence ✅
- Putting their profits ahead of our health ✅
Women are experiencing higher levels of alcohol harm, in part because Big Alcohol has it's sights set on them 🎯
Exposed: Shocking exploitative practices of #BigAlcohol in the #GlobalSouth
Big Alcohol uses similar tactics in the UK & the West to:
➡️ Influence or thwart health policies in favour of protecting and growing their profits
➡️ Aggressively target children, young people & women
Today is #WorldCancerDay
Too many people still don't know that #Alcohol causes #Cancer 🤔
#BigAlcohol would rather we were kept in the dark - lobbying hard against health warning labels 🤫
We think people have the right to know what's in the products they consume
Shocking new report that shows that #BigAlcohol successfully pressured to the UK Government to drop #AlcoholMarketing restrictions from their 10 Year Health Plan.
@publichealthscot.bsky.social last year concluded that alcohol marketing is pervasive, persuasive and freqeunt exposure drives harm.
#BigAlcohol really, really doesn't want people to know that #Alcohol causes #Cancer 🤫
We think you should.
We think people have the right to information that allows them to make informed health choices 🤷
Alcohol costs our economy billions in lost productivity through sickness, presenteeism and early death
Tax breaks for #BigAlcohol won't lead to economic growth
Reducing alcohol harm by taking action on price, availability and marketing almost certainly would
Someday they'll be talking about shutting down all the biggest killers... #BigAlcohol, #BigTobacco, #BigPharma, #PlasticsCartel, & all their #TechBros #Billionaires stop funding #CrimesAgainstHumanity, #Genocides, #EpsteinFiles, #Surveillance #Capitalism profiting from data that they owe us for...
Worried about how big $$ influences alcohol policy? You should be.
Check out our briefing @phcc.bsky.social today that shows:
▶️ alcohol more harmful than we thought
▶️ low-risk advice needs to be reviewed
▶️ #BigAlcohol lobbying is influencing our policy makers
November is #MouthCancerAwarenessMonth
Many people remain unaware that alcohol causes at least 7 different cancers, including mouth cancer
#BigAlcohol would rather you didn't know 🤫
We think you should
We want to see mandatory health warning labels on alcohol products ⚠️

They say football is the 'working man's' game, and limiting alcohol at matches is 'class warfare'.
Yet, no group in Scotland experiences alcohol harm more than working class men.
It's not the working man who needs more alcohol in football. It's the #BigAlcohol who want it. 💰
Research by Stirling University found that clubs won't likely benefit financially from alcohol sales at football grounds
But #BigAlcohol might. They want us to think fans are driving this push
But a lot of fans see increasing violence in #ScottishFootball and say, 'No thanks'
Sounds more like a blue wave function to me. They bent over for #BigAlcohol again.

As TX LG Dan Patrick knows, Big Alcohol has deep pockets. #BigAlcohol
Critics of #MUP for #alcohol now criticising MUP for #tobacco, favouring 'educating children on the dangers of alcohol or smoking' instead.
Funnily enough, that's the preferred intervention of #BigAlcohol & #BigTobacco - because it's least effective!!

Dabbers at the ready for #KillerTactics 2 Bingo! ✒️
You'll already be seeing a lot of these claims from #BigAlcohol in the lead up to the #Budget2025
Plenty more to come before the #ScottishElections2025 🗳️

Today we're attending the @ashorguk.bsky.social @aha-uk.bsky.social @oha-updates.bsky.social launch of the #KillerTactics 2 report, looking at how #BigAlcohol & other health harming industries have sought to undermine #PublicHealth since the new UK Government took power

Big Alcohol in public: "We're really struggling & #GenZ aren't drinking anymore so there's no need for tougher #alcohol policy/taxes"
#BigAlcohol in private: "Global spending on alcohol will be $1.2trillion this year & youth drinking decline was a blip."

A fore-warning for UK plans to ensure alcohol products carry health warning information ⚠️
New documents reveal an organised effort by alcohol giants to pressure the Irish government into delaying landmark #cancer warnings.

#BigAlcohol
#BigAlcohol wants us to think only those with an addiction die because of alcohol
They hide the truth by denying us health information on their products
Mandatory health warning labels should be part of a range of prevention measures included in our next #AlcoholStrategy
How much alcohol does a 'social drinker' drink? 🤷
#BigAlcohol uses vague terms to conceal the reality that even 'moderate' or 'social' drinking might seriously harm our health
To save lives we need to see an expansion of early detection of liver disease
Important #PublicHealth message in @theguardian.com letters.
#BigTobacco and #BigAlcohol will do as much damage as they are allowed to get away with
www.theguardian.com/society/2025...
It's very disappointing to see the false claims of #BigAlcohol around #AlcoholDuty being repeated
Particularly frustrating when all it takes is some simple fact checking and a little critical interrogation to avoid this. 🤷♂️
"While ministerial timidity has an impact on the nation’s health, employers & the economy, “this is also existential for the NHS...”
“Health service leaders are telling us that unless we act on prevention, we may not have an NHS to fix...”
#BigAlcohol
Women are a major target of the activities of #BigAlcohol companies as they seek to grow markets and sales volume (i.e. - get us to drink more!)
Voluntary labelling also means that alcohol products do not contain sufficient warning about the effects of alcohol during pregnancy
