June 2021 Alcohol Alert: Unpacking Policy, Pricing, and Advertising

Clearly, there needs to be policy actions to close these gaps and prevent harmful patterns of drinking.
How does alcohol policy impact our everyday lives? The June 2021 episode of the Alcohol Alert Podcast, brought to you by the Institute of Alcohol Studies, offers a fascinating look into this very question. From the economic case for alcohol control policies to the latest studies on minimum unit pricing in Scotland, this episode is packed with insights that matter. Ever wondered how alcohol advertising sneaks into major sports events like the Rugby Six Nations?
Or what brain imaging studies reveal about the safety of alcohol consumption? These are just a few of the critical topics explored. The episode also dives into the confusion surrounding the WHO's global alcohol action plan and parliamentary debates on labeling and drug misuse.
Featuring voices like Kristina Sperkova from Movendi International and Professor Jeff Collin from the University of Edinburgh, this episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in public health, policy, or simply looking to understand the broader societal impacts of alcohol. Whether you're a health professional, policy student, or someone with personal ties to alcohol-related issues, this episode offers valuable perspectives and up-to-date information.
