The inclusion of health warnings on labels to address externalities related with alcohol use is a hotly contested topic that has been investigated from many angles. The purpose of this study is to examine the interest and attitudes of Italian university students about health warnings on alcoholic drinks, as well as to determine if there are groups that vary in their views toward such warnings. Our findings indicate that young consumer’s value health warnings, but the level of perceived usefulness varies depending on the kind of warning. Cluster analysis reveals three distinct groups of adolescent drinkers, each with varying levels of attention to and perceived usefulness of warning labels on alcoholic drinks, as well as drinking habits and knowledge of social and health hazards associated with alcohol usage. In summary, Italian young people who engage in moderate consumption have a favourable attitude toward label warnings, while younger adults and those who engage in risky consumption have a negative opinion. Our results, although limited and based on reported and unpublished data, indicate the need for suitable methods to enhance the availability of information on the dangers of excessive alcohol use among young people, as well as greater awareness of the significance of moderate drinking.
