Episode Overview
- The industry's calculated strategies to embed harmful norms and drive consumption

- Insights into the industry's pervasive influence across media, government, and public spaces
- The urgent need to shift the power balance between the industry and policymakers
We must make consumers more literate... Enculturation is the game that alcohol brands are in. It doesn't communicate, it enculturates. It embeds whole populations in certain norms and roles.
Imagine a world where the alcohol industry subtly shapes your everyday decisions without you even realizing it. That's the eye-opening discussion in this episode of 'The Alcohol File'. Host Jennifer Hall sits down with Dr. Norah Campbell, a lecturer in critical marketing at Trinity Business School, and Dr. Nason Maani, a lecturer in Inequalities and Global Health Policy at The University of Edinburgh. Together, they unravel the complex web of commercial influences that the alcohol industry spins around us.
From mythmaking in advertising to the industry's sneaky tactics in policy-making, you'll gain a fresh perspective on how deeply embedded alcohol norms are in our culture. The episode doesn't just stop at exposing problems; it also explores how regulations can be both a challenge and an opportunity for innovation. You'll hear about the media's role in either perpetuating or preventing alcohol harm and the political clout that keeps the industry's influence strong.
This conversation is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the unseen forces that shape public health and societal norms.
