About this title

Review

""The second volume in the International Centre for Alcohol Policies series on Alcohol in Society explores in a unique way how a balance may be achieved between public health and commerce; giving a good indication how in practice different disciplines like governments, scientists, scholars and public health experts, non-governmental groups and bodies, as well as the beverage alcohol industry, all need to have a place at the table." --Alcohol & Alcoholism, Vol. 35, No. 4, 2000."
