Abstract	Health warning labels are now required on alcoholic beverage containers in the United Sates. This is a study of who has seen the labels, and reported changes in relevant knowledge, attitudes and behavior. The details of the study are described. No statistically significant changes in knowledge of the health risks included on the labels were detected, but the knowledge levels for 2 non-included potential warnings had declined. It was found that those who probably saw the warninggn labels were significantly more likely to report several behaviors indicative of heightened awareness of, and caution regarding, the hazard of drinking and driving and of drinking during pregnancy, hazards that are both included on the warning labels.
