A picture of Britain
NHS Information Centre published its latest report on alcohol last week. Drawing on a range of published resources, the report analyses drinking behaviour amongst adults and children, attitudes to alcohol and drink-related costs, ill-health and mortality, largely using data from 2007/8. It also discusses the issue of cost and affordability of alcohol. Meanwhile the Home Office is consulting on how alcohol is sold and supplied. The consultation, which proposes a new code for retailers, closes on 5 August. A new report from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation looks at case studies from other fields, such as youth smoking prevention, that may help to frame policy approaches to dealing with alcohol harm.
