Australian report reviews alcohol policy worldwide

in

This 80 page Australian report concludes that success in reducing alcohol consumption and related harms is likely to lie in the integration of multiple policies, rather than reliance on individual, uncoordinated approaches. The report reviews four key strategies employed around the world. These include tax increases on all or selected alcoholic beverages, minimum pricing and bans on discounts/promotions. The report also covers responses from the alcohol industry, how public opinion influences policy and whether policy changes might lead to consumption of other substances.
