The facts we all should know
FACT #9
Did you know alcohol tax and price policies curb harm?
Alcohol pricing policies and taxation are among the most effective and cost-effective measures to reduce alcohol consumption and harms–but most countries of the WHO European Region still do not use these valuable tools to their full potential. An estimated 10,700 new cancer cases and 4,850 alcohol-related cancer deaths could be avoided annually in the WHO European Region by doubling current excise duties on alcoholic beverages.
