Why it matters

The legal frameworks in many countries do not adequately address the harms of alcohol. Alcohol and its marketing are omnipresent, and its low prices do not reflect the devastating cost to individuals, families, and communities. Governments can prevent unnecessary suffering by implementing effective measures such as higher taxes and restrictions on marketing and availability. 

How we work

Mapping the current framework of alcohol laws across various government offices at national and subnational levels

Identifying weakness and opportunities to strengthen existing laws based on best-buy alcohol measures.

Equipping policy makers with the latest evidence and best global practices to support their policy development

Providing ongoing technical assistance and guidance to government officials who propose, evaluate, and advance alcohol laws.
