The alliance of 70 medical bodies and health charities is demanding that:
• A third of the label on all cans and bottles of alcohol should be given over to a hard-hitting warning about the health dangers of over-consumption
• A ban on all alcohol advertising and sponsorship. That would stop alcohol manufacturers paying millions to have their name on teams' shirts or in the title of a competition – such as Budweiser, which sponsors the FA Cup in England
• Drink sales in shops and supermarkets should be restricted to certain times, and alcohol products sold only in designated areas, to reduce "pre-loading" – in which people drink cheaper shop-bought alcohol before going out
• A hike in the price of high-strength products, such as certain wines, to discourage consumption

Alcohol is much more dangerous than any illegal narcotic or tobacco.
I've watched 2 friends die because of drinking.

Yes, it should have a warning imo.
Anything that can poison you if ingested should have a warning.

Guess you should put that on the foods you eat, air you breathe, and anything else about life. That just about covers it in a nutshell.

Bad idea. Big warning labels explaining how dangerous something is equals twice as many under aged kids finding it absolutely necessary to try it out at even younger ages than they do now. Want to make sure kids do something? Make a really big deal about why they shouldn't do it.

Wait till your near a propane tank explosion plant, then you tell me how you don't get air poisoning. Couldn't breathe all night nor smoke. And that will last for hours if not days in your lungs. And not to mention all the car smog inducers. No, there's no air poisoning.
