With the World Health Organization estimating that more than 16 percent of global deaths are due to the effects of alcohol, alcohol misuse can be an extremely damaging social problem, and one that governments around the world have endeavored to address through a range of policy strategies.

In exploring these questions, this book presents a fascinating case study of a policy that did not work.
