Industry Challenges WHO’s Claims of Health Risks

The alcohol industry has issued a statement expressing concern over the World Health Organization’s (WHO) assessment of potential health impacts associated with alcohol consumption. The industry argues that the WHO’s conclusions are based on flawed methodologies and lack sufficient scientific evidence. The industry asserts that its products are generally safe and contribute positively to public health. They are asserting a desire to engage in a dialogue with the WHO regarding the ongoing debate surrounding alcohol’s effects and to present data suggesting potential benefits.
