Abstract
SummaryThis article rests on the assumption that effective intervention into alcohol abuse and alcoholism in Australia (and elsewhere) requires greater emphasis on prevention through balanced social policy measures rather than on individual treatment through medically oriented programmes. By means of a household survey of the 12th largest city in Australia (the country with the highest per capita alcohol consumption among all English speaking countries) the pattern of support for various intervention alternatives is analysed. Next, groups which provide or withhold support for these strategies are identified. Finally the support for such hypothetical controls is compared with actual support for existing control measures in other realms of social life. On this basis specific action recommendations are offered.
