doctor vivek murthy made that suggestion in a report released this morning. now, right now, surgeon general warning labels tell pregnant women not to drink because of the risk of birth defects, and they warn against drunk driving. but today's report cites a direct link between alcohol and at least seven types of cancer. you can see them right there. they include breast, liver and mouth cancer. the report also says that alcohol is the third leading cause of cancer in the u.s, second only to tobacco and obesity. joining me now is doctor keith humphreys. he's a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at stanford. all right. i want to start by getting your thoughts on this new warning. do these types of warning labels really work? and don't people already know that excessive drinking is bad for you? i mean, warning labels work a little. i mean, it's like most public education in this area. some people notice them, some people don't. but at the margin, yeah, they do make a difference. and i think more generally, a good point that doctor murthy made today i
