Thanks very much @stevedarlingmp.bsky.social for supporting #CPAW25, which officially wrapped up yesterday.
Raising awareness that alcohol is a cause of at least 7 types of cancer is essential given that @wcrf.org polling found only 7% of UK adults are aware of the link.
In the UK, alcohol is a cause of around 17,000 cancer diagnoses every year. This needs to change

In 2015, approx. 6.5% of deaths in Scotland were attributable to alcohol consumption. 28% of these alcohol-attributable deaths were due to cancer.
👏 Thank you to Miles Briggs MSP for highlighting our updated guidance on Alcohol and Cancer for Health Professionals. #CPAW25
Amazing to take our campaign to the heart of government.
We need a National Alcohol Strategy for England, with a focus on MUP, marketing restrictions and mandatory cancer warning labels.

Did you know alcohol is a cause of 7 different types of cancer? We need to talk honestly about our health: join the conversation this #CPAW25

Really pleased to be able to share this message – our campaign isn't about blaming, but helping people understand the facts, so they can make informed decisions.

Alcohol is linked to 7 types of cancer but only 1 in 2 Scots are aware of this. It's time to talk about alcohol and cancer, so that people can make informed choices about their health! #CPAW25 @WCRF_UK

Alcohol is a cause of 7 cancers, yet awareness is worryingly low.
Everyone must have the information they need to make informed decisions about their health.
The UK Government must act and implement a National Alcohol Strategy.

With @wcrf.org we are calling for mandatory labelling of alcoholic products, including cancer warnings.
Thanks to MSPs for backing #CPAW25 and raising awareness of alcohol’s link to cancer. 3 people in Scotland are diagnosed with an alcohol-related cancer every day. Let’s talk and open up conversations so everyone can make more informed choices about their health. #AlcoholAndCancer @wcrf.org

Alcohol should have labels warning drinkers of cancer risks, charities say
Drinking alcohol increases the risk of a range of health issues, including several cancers.
#CPAW25
Most people don’t know the shocking truth: alcohol causes cancer
Yet in the UK, it accounts for around 17,000 cancer diagnoses every year – 46 people every single day
These alarming statistics make one thing clear: the UK Government must act
