Bit of a tangent, but I'd be very curious to see the affect of sales if alcohol had carcinogen warnings plastered all over it like cigarettes do.

I'm sure the older folks wouldn't care much, but I tend to think it might sway the younger folks a bit.

I think a lot of people have no idea that alcohol is a major carcinogen.
