We will hypothesize about the strength and type of contributions of different forces that may influence alcohol policies: public opinion, science and politics. And finally, we will focus on what policies and interventions have been shown to be effective in reducing risks and damage from alcohol, and outline some action steps at the provincial and local levels.
