requiring state liquor outlets to post warnings relative to the increased risk of cancer and birth defects from drinking alcoholic beverages.

SB 417 requires bars, liquor stores, and state liquor outlets in New Hampshire to display a specific health warning about alcohol risks. The sign must state: "According to the Surgeon General, drinking alcoholic beverages may increase cancer risk and women should not drink alcoholic beverages during pregnancy because of the risk of birth defects." This warning must be posted prominently in a contrasting background at all alcohol-serving locations. The bill directly affects all businesses holding alcohol licenses, including on-premises (like bars) and off-premises (like retail stores) licensees, as well as state liquor outlets. The requirement takes effect 60 days after the bill is passed.
