The idea that putting labels on every bottle is about "letting Canadians know and informing them better", is flat out horseshit.

That's what education campaigns are for. Putting labels on every bottle is about reminding / nagging people every single time they try and enjoy having a drink to try and make them enjoy it less and change their behaviour.

You can be on board with that or not, but let's stop lying with the 'its about education' comments.

I mean, it's pretty well known that alcohol isn't healthy. Do we need a warning about every risk it poses? Cancer, liver damage, fetal alcohol syndrome, impaired driving, addiction, etc.

It's a pretty big list.

I suspect that most people are already aware that alcohol is not good for one's health.

What?! I had no idea. Excuse me while I put down this 4th mimosa. And by down, I mean my throat.
