alcohol public policy  

Definition

  • Public policies concerning alcohol use vary widely. Societies that view alcohol use as an immoral act tend to be more punitive toward its use, whereas societies that view alcohol misuse as disordered behavior or a sign of an illness tend to react with policies that focus on public health solutions.
