Drinking beverage alcohol is a widespread source of individual and
social pleasure in most countries around the world. Yet, some
drinking patterns can lead to serious physical, mental, and social
harms. Drinking in Context is intended to complement existing
volumes dealing with international alcohol policy by focusing on
three main themes: drinking patterns, targeted interventions, and
partnership development. An understanding that patterns of drinking
are important predictors of outcomes has led to a growing
realization that alcohol policies and prevention strategies need to
focus on excessive or irresponsible drinking. As a result, there
has been a shift towards interventions that address the targeted
reduction of harm. These approaches recognize socio-cultural
differences and avoid trying to impose a one-size-fits-all
solution. In this context, multi-stakeholder partnerships offer an
excellent opportunity to promote the complex mix of measures
required by each society. Shared responsibilities lead to shared
solutions.
