Have you ever stopped to think about the small print on your medication bottles? In this episode of 'LAF Life', hosts Kelly Evans, Tracy Georgievic, Mike Sutton, and Lindsay Herrick dive into the crucial yet often overlooked topic of warning labels.

The conversation is candid and eye-opening, highlighting how many people might not be fully aware of these dangers. The hosts ask some tough questions: Are we really paying attention to the information that comes with our medications? Do doctors always ask about alcohol consumption when prescribing treatments? And should alcohol bottles come with warning labels similar to those on cigarette packages?
These questions are more than just food for thought; they are calls to action for everyone to take their health seriously.
