Ireland to become first country in the world to put health warnings on alcohol

  • The Republic of Ireland will be the first country to introduce health warning labels on alcohol products, with regulations signed into law by the health minister on Monday but not set to become mandatory until 2026.
  • The labels will warn consumers about the risks of drinking alcohol, including potential fatal cancers, liver disease and the risks of drinking while pregnant, and will also provide a product's calorie content.
  • The move has faced criticism from some European Union member states including Italy, which has described the warnings as a "direct attack" and warned that they could cause problems within the single market.
