Amusing how many of the bottles in the picture are Scotland's alcoholic drinks, not Ireland's ;)

Lame. Let me consume alcohol in peace. I’m simply continuing the ancient human tradition of getting wasted.

Because that will stop people?

Let's do shots! Oh, wait... look, there's a warning on the bottle. Damn I guess we should leave the bar and go have tea instead.

You can read this metastudy if you like. But the short answer is yes. That's why health warnings are added to things. It's not done just for the fun of it.
