Regulation of Alcohol‐Free and Low‐Alcohol Drinks
The prevalence and characteristics of unrecorded alcohol consumption
OBJECTIVE: Empirical evidence on unrecorded alcohol (alcohol produced, distributed and sold outside government oversight) remains limited in sub-Saharan Africa, despite its contribution to total alcohol consumption in many low- and middle-income countries. We estimated the prevalence and main types of unrecorded alcohol consumption; investigated sociodemographic characteristics of its use; and examined differences in drinking patterns between con…
Quantitative controls on the number and/or location of alcohol retail outlets
Quantitative controls on the number and/or location of alcohol retail outlets are widely used across the USA and Canada but vary significantly in structure and stringency. While some jurisdictions impose multiple controls, others apply none. Understanding these policy approaches provides insight into regulatory frameworks but does not indicate enforcement levels or public health impact. Further research could examine how these measures are implem…
Assessing progress toward the World Health Organization’s Global action plan alcohol reduction target in Sub-Saharan Africa 2010–2019
The World Health Organization (WHO) Global Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases calls for a 10% relative reduction in the harmful use of alcohol by 2025. We assessed progress across 45 sub-Saharan African countries between 2010 and 2019 using WHO data on alcohol per capita consumption (APC) and heavy episodic drinking (HED). Trends were analysed for both the total population and past-year drinkers, using populati…
A comparison of gender-linked population cancer risks between alcohol and tobacco
One bottle of wine per week is associated with an increased absolute lifetime risk of alcohol-related cancers in women, driven by breast cancer, equivalent to the increased absolute cancer risk associated with ten cigarettes per week. These findings can help communicate that moderate levels of drinking are an important public health risk for women. The risks for men, equivalent to five cigarettes per week, are also of note
