Alcohol: No ordinary commodity
An international team of experts are behind the WHO sponsored book. It sums up the research and knowledge on alcohol problems and alcohol policy. Alcohol: No ordinary Commodity builds on the previous volume by Griffith Edwards et. al: Alcohol policy and the public good (1994). The text of the present volume evolved through the development of background papers, many stages of drafting, discussion at plenary meetings and the contributions of a small editorial group. This participatory exercise has resulted in a text that represents the consensus view of the 15 authors.
