The facts we all should know
FACT #29
Did you know alcohol-related liver disease is prevantable?
It has been well demonstrated that several alcohol-related policies are both effective and cost-effective. These policies include price-based policies, such as taxation and minimum unit pricing, as well as restricting alcohol availability, marketing and advertising. Policies based on age-related vulnerability, such as restrictions on alcohol access for young people, are also effective.
