Against zombie prohibitionism

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), established by the WHO in 1965 to investigate cancer causes, has reportedly shifted toward activism over the decades. A recent article in the New England Journal of Medicine, titled "The IARC Perspective on the Effects of Policies on Reducing Alcohol Consumption", advocates for prohibition as an evidence-based measure. However, a disclaimer at the end of the article states that the views expressed do not necessarily reflect those of IARC or the WHO, raising questions about how it can be called an "IARC perspective" at all.
