MACAU, June 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The International Alcohol Control Online Symposium, organized by experts from the World Health Organization (WHO), the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) Biobank and Cohort Building Network (BCNet), and other institutions, has reaffirmed that alcohol is a Group 1 carcinogen. Any level of consumption increases health risks, and it is generally considered that there is no absolutely safe threshold for intake.
The symposium focused on the policy challenges faced globally, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and China. It underscored that the most effective interventions remain total consumption control, raising taxes, restricting supply, and strengthening public education.
