I think it's pretty much conclusive now that a wider impact of the pandemic has been an increase in alcohol-specific mortality.
What happens when the marketing of no and low alcohol drinks meets new policy changes? The January 2022 episode of the Alcohol Alert podcast by the Institute of Alcohol Studies dives into a variety of pressing topics. From Ireland's introduction of minimum unit pricing to the World Heart Federation debunking the myth that alcohol prolongs life, this episode has it all.
You'll also hear about the staggering increase in alcohol-specific mortality during the pandemic and how the heaviest drinkers bought 17 times more alcohol than the lightest drinkers during lockdowns. It's eye-opening stuff. But that's not all. The episode sheds light on the industry's misleading claims in WHO consultation submissions and reveals that children are exposed to an average of 554 alcohol brands every day.
It even touches on the innovative use of Artificial Intelligence to estimate customers' ages and debates the language we should use to avoid stigma around alcohol consumption. Whether you're curious about the latest policies or concerned about public health, this episode offers a comprehensive look at current issues. Perfect for anyone wanting to stay informed about UK alcohol policy matters, it's a must-listen for those who care about societal impacts and public health.
