Why this petition matters

Started by Courtney Gorman

“Alcohol-related deaths remain a silent epidemic.” - Camille Bains, The Canadian Press (June 13, 2019).

The media normalizes drinking culture at all legal and illegal ages, at all celebrations and many college movies or teen advertisements.

The Centres for Disease Control and Prevention recommends only having ONE or TWO drinks per day, with a TWO day sober break in between. Why isn’t this somewhere on a label like cigarettes or marijuana packages? Alcohol can be very dangerous to our health in many ways. 

According to ourworldindata.org, in 2019 alcohol-use was responsible for 2.44 million deaths. What are we waiting for?

In my opinion alcohol distributors should be responsible for identifying the risks associated with binge drinking on each individual label. Might we even include a support line for those already addicted or on their way? Perhaps the CRISIS line, just in case?

Please sign my petition and be part of the change! Thank you so very much in advance. Keep smiling :)
