One of those grey European documents on important topics, this time on a WHO European region plan for responsing to alcohol misuse and what European countries should be doing until 2020. A particular concern for 'heavy drinking' occasions, binge drinking to you and me. Lots on marketing etc. Although underage drinking appears in several of the sections, it's a pity there's no comprehensive plan directly aimed at preventing young people from getting into unhealthy alcohol use.Too much on managing the markets.
But we should never cut the economics off from the human. Plans should start from what is good for human beings; what is good for people selling alcohol should come a very long way behind.
Here's the link.
