Sheila Gilheny

Sheila Gilheny, CEO of Alcohol Action Ireland and a public health advocate, dives into Ireland's groundbreaking alcohol warning labels linking drinking to cancer and liver disease. She discusses the implications of these labels and critiques the government's delay in their mandatory implementation until 2028, attributing it to industry lobbying. The conversation also explores the cultural shifts in drinking habits, the rise of binge drinking among the youth, and the potential for learning from tobacco regulation to drive change in alcohol policy.
