Summary

Nutrition label

63% Informative

Knowalcohol.ca is a website where users can calculate their health risks based on the amount of alcohol they consume.

The website is built on guidelines issued two years ago by the government-supported Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction .

Health Canada’s guide has been in place since 2011 and the government is sticking with it.

U.S. Surgeon General calls for more public awareness about the link between alcohol and cancer.

Users enter their age, sex and number of standard drinks they have per week and have the options of calculating their health risks, the amount of money drinking is costing them, or the number of calories they’re consuming.

Naimi said the purpose of the website is to “inform people in a hopefully non-threatening but informative way” about the impacts of alcohol.
