Abstract in brief

  • The study created the International Alcohol Control (IAC) Policy Index to measure and compare how strict alcohol policies are and their actual impact across 12 diverse countries, based on four key policy areas: availability, pricing, marketing, and drink driving.
  • The index found that stricter policies and greater impact, such as higher prices and limited marketing, are associated with lower alcohol consumption per capita, with affordability and marketing practices playing significant roles.
  • Overall, the IAC Policy Index demonstrated a strong link to alcohol consumption across different countries, offering a more comprehensive and effective benchmarking tool than previous indices.
