Why?
• Cheap alcohol is too readily available• Industry needs have been prioritised over
community concerns• Increasing numbers of people are drinking at
home (and “pre-loading”)• Previous governments have failed to tackle the
problem• Lack of challenge to this behaviour
Government’s Alcohol Strategy, 2011 (p3-4)
![Page 11: UK Alcohol Policy Whither now? Dr Jane Marshall SSA Symposium 9 November 2012](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649db45503460f94aa43a8/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The Strategy• Take firm and fast action where immediate and
universal change is needed:– End availability of cheap alcohol and irresponsible
promotions– Minimum unit price
• Ensure that local areas are able to tackle local problems, reduce alcohol-fuelled violent crime and tackle health inequalities
• Recognise the role of industry in changing individual drinking behaviour
• Support individuals to make informed choices about healthier and responsible drinking
![Page 12: UK Alcohol Policy Whither now? Dr Jane Marshall SSA Symposium 9 November 2012](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649db45503460f94aa43a8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Outcomes Required
• A change in behaviour so that people think it is not acceptable to drink in ways that could cause harm to themselves or others
• A reduction in alcohol-fuelled violent crime• A reduction in the number of adults drinking above
NHS guidelines• A reduction in the number of people “binge-drinking”• A reduction in the number of alcohol-related deaths• A sustained reduction in the numbers of 11-15 year
olds drinking alcohol and the amounts consumed

1. Turning the Tide
• Reducing availability– Minimum unit price (MUP)– Ban on multi-buy promotions (off-
trade)
• Alcohol advertising– Work with relevant agencies to
increase public awareness (Ofcom; ASA; the Portman Group)
• Responding to emerging issues– Alcohol duty fraud– Liver disease in young people
