There’s More to Wine Than Just a Cancer Warning

Vivek Murthy, the surgeon general, recently recommended that cancer warnings be included on all alcohol products.

He’d like people “to think about this as just one example out of many in a life that risks becoming stripped of a certain kind of magic because we’re trying to protect ourselves out of existence.”
