The Cancer Council of Australia is pushing for warning labels to be placed on alcohol following similar moves made by the UK and Ireland.

Cancer Council’s Nutrition, Alcohol and Physical Activity Committee Chair Clare Hughes told Dean Miller on 4BC Breakfast, "There is really clear evidence that the International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies alcohol to be a group one carcinogen, which shows just how strong the evidence is that it causes cancer."

"Right now, there's no safe amount when it comes to cancer risk, which is why the alcohol guidelines recommend that the less you drink, the lower your risk."
