Eurocare Papers / Resources / European Alcohol Policy Alliance

Eurocare believes there is a public health interest in informing consumers, by means of labels, of the dangers and health risks associated to the consumption of alcohol. These messages would be a symbolic statement concerning the nature of the product and a low cost reminder that alcohol consumption has some risks.

In this document, you will find a number of sample labels that can be used as a basis for a more elaborated library.
