Summary

This chapter discusses key areas of alcohol policy from the perspective of effects on those with alcohol use disorder (AUD) and in recovery from AUD. These include pricing policies such as taxation, availability policies such as outlet density restrictions and government control of sales, marketing and advertising policies such as ad bans and restrictions, and driving under the influence policies such as per se blood alcohol limits. Also included are recent and less studied issues such as alcohol home delivery, responses to COVID-19, and court-ordered alcohol monitoring. Alcohol policies shape environmental aspects that affect behaviors of drinkers and those in recovery. Support for strengthening weaker alcohol policies such as taxation and maintaining stronger polices such as government control are needed to promote recovery as well as to reduce heavy drinking and prevent AUD. Areas needing further research focused on AUD and opportunities for strengthening alcohol policies are noted.
