This updated second edition of Trouble Brewing examines how alcohol use contributes to widespread health, social and economic harm—affecting not only individuals, but also families, communities and health systems.
The report also exposes how the alcohol industry shapes public perception and policy through targeted marketing, lobbying and corporate social responsibility efforts that downplay risks and obstruct effective regulation—often mirroring tactics historically used by the tobacco industry.
The second edition presents the latest evidence on the policies that work to reduce alcohol harms: increased alcohol taxation, restrictions on marketing, and regulation of availability. It offers a clear call for coordinated action across sectors to implement proven policies that can save lives and strengthen public health.
