In this regard, one recommendation is to do what has been done with smoking and to add warnings about the dangers of alcohol consumption to each bottle of wine or beer; the modus operandi behind this idea is to raise the public’s awareness of what they’re doing to their health.
Furthermore, they also suggested encouraging the public to count their drinks, not the ones they have in their fridge, but to keep a count of how many they’ve consumed during a week.
However, the main message they want to put out is that alcohol is bad for people and that “drinking less is better”.
How much will this project change opinions towards alcohol?
It depends, some will read the report and be shocked into drinking less, but the problem, as it is in other countries, is that drinking is so deeply embedded in the society that it would take a seismic shift to get millions to drink less.
