Safe. Sensible. Social.


The next steps in the National Alcohol Strategy reviews progress since the publication of the Alcohol Harm Reduction Strategy for England (2004) and outlines further national and local action to achieve long-term reductions in alcohol-related ill health and crime.

Next steps in the national alcohol strategy:
  • sharpened criminal justice for drunken behaviour;
  • a review of NHS alcohol spending;
  • more help for people who want to drink less;
  • toughened enforcement of underage sales;
  • trusted guidance for parents and young people;
  • public information campaigns to promote a new ‘sensible drinking’ culture;
  • public consultation on alcohol pricing and promotion; and
  • local alcohol strategies.
