| Abstract
|
:
|
"Drinking beverage alcohol is a widespread source of individual and social pleasure in most countries around the world. Yet, some drinking patterns can lead to serious physical, mental, and social harms. Drinking in Context is intended to complement existing volumes dealing with international alcohol policy by focusing on three main themes: drinking patterns, targeted interventions, and partnership development."

:
|
"Drinking in Context gives special emphasis to three issues that are of great concern globally: alcohol-impaired driving, alcohol abuse among young people, and public disorder. The volume explains how to develop action plans based on available evidence and leading to feasible solutions. It is directed towards a broad readership, including policy-makers, public health and social policy specialists, health advocates, scientists and scholars, beverage alcohol industry members, educators, and prevention program staff."--Jacket.
