Alcohol Stocks Are Falling Today: What's Going On?
Stocks of leading alcohol companies reacted negatively to the news. Shares of major alcohol producers and distributors declined sharply Friday following a warning issued by U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy about the increased cancer risks associated with alcohol consumption.
主要酒类生产商和分销商的股票在周五大幅下跌，此前美国首席卫生官维韦克·穆尔菲发出警告，称饮酒增加了癌症风险。
What To Know: Murthy's advisory emphasized the need for updated health warning labels to reflect mounting evidence of alcohol's connection to cancer. These labels have not been revised since 1988. The advisory also called for reassessing recommended alcohol consumption limits, highlighting alcohol's role as the third-leading preventable cause of cancer in the United States, behind tobacco and obesity.
要点：穆尔菲的建议强调了更新健康警告标签以反映酒精与癌症之间越来越多的证据的必要性。这些标签自1988年以来未曾修订。该建议还呼吁重新评估推荐的酒精消费限制，强调酒精是美国第三大可预防癌症的原因，仅次于烟草和肥胖。
Murthy's statement drew attention to alcohol's association with at least seven types of cancer, including breast, liver and colorectal cancers. He pointed out that alcohol consumption contributes to approximately 100,000 cancer cases and 20,000 deaths annually in the United States. The announcement highlighted that only 45% of American adults are aware of the cancer risks posed by alcohol.
穆尔菲的声明引起了对酒精与至少七种癌症（包括乳腺癌、肝癌和结肠直肠癌）之间关联的关注。他指出，酒精消费每年导致美国大约100,000例癌症病例和20,000人死亡。公告强调，只有45%的美国成年人意识到酒精带来的癌症风险。
