The Institute of Alcohol Studies (IAS) has published new report, A Healthier Future: a long-term vision to tackle alcohol harm in the UK, developed collaboratively with more than 40 leading experts in alcohol policy, research, and treatment.
The alcohol control community has long lacked a shared long-term vision for change. This report fills that gap – setting out clear national targets to halve risky drinking, expand access to treatment, and reverse record levels of alcohol deaths. It also identifies the most effective policy actions to get us there, including fairer alcohol pricing, stronger marketing regulation, clear product labelling, and renewed investment in treatment and prevention.
The report provides an evidence-based roadmap to help align advocacy across the sector and strengthen calls for coordinated, cross-government action to tackle the UK’s alcohol harm crisis.
