The UK and Europe

摘要

This paper examines Britain's alcohol consumption, alcohol-related problems and certain alcohol control policies within a comparative European framework. It is suggested that such an examination contributes to a balanced perspective on alcohol and alcoholism in the United Kingdom. Without wishing to minimise the range and extent of alcohol-related problems in the United Kingdom, it is suggested that alcohol consumption, alcohol-related problems and alcohol control policies in the UK compare favourably with those in other countries of Europe.
