Public attitudes to the regulation of alcohol.

Summary:	Public support for the regulation of alcohol is central to government policies aimed at reducing consumption. This study uses a nationally representative population survey conducted in 1993 (n = 3500) to examine public support for 11 separate policies designed to reduce alcohol consumption. The results show that the respondents see these 11 policies in terms of three distinct approaches to alcohol regulation: availability (for example, reducing the number of retail outlets); control (for example, stricter enforcement of laws against serving underage customers); and promotion (for example, restricting alcohol advertising on television). There is strong public support for policies that control alcohol use and, with the exception of restricting alcohol sponsorship of sporting events, for moves to curb the promotion of alcohol. However, public opinion is evenly divided on moves to restrict availability, with the single exception of raising the minimum legal drinking age, which attracts majority support. Women, older people, the less educated, immigrants and abstainers or less frequent drinkers are generally most likely to support more restrictions. By state and territory, Tasmanians are most restrictive in their views, residents of the Northern Territory most liberal. The findings highlight the difficulties that governments will face in restricting the availability of alcohol.  Read more...
