Abstract
ABSTRACTThis article summarizes the contents ofAlcohol: No Ordinary Commodity—Research and public policy(Baboret al. 2003). The first part of the book describes why alcohol is no ordinary commodity, and presents epidemiological data on the global burden of alcohol‐related problems. The second part of the book reviews the scientific evidence for strategies and interventions designed to prevent or minimize alcohol‐related harm: pricing and taxation, regulating the physical availability of alcohol, modifying the drinking context, drinking‐driving countermeasures, regulating alcohol promotion, education and persuasion strategies and treatment services. The final section considers the policymaking process on the local, national and international levels, and provides a synthesis of evidence‐based strategies and interventions from a policy perspective.
