Thinking Drinking II wrap upThree hundred delegates attended Thinking Drinking II: From Problems to Solutions which took place in Melbourne, Australia from the 26 - 28 February 2007.
Thinking Drinking II sought to identify and advance solutions rather than continue to describe the problems.
A major theme throughout the conference was the need for public health advocates to establish a limited set of demands, argue for them consistently and support their demands with a rational case based on sound evidence. Advocates need to show strong community support for the policies they espouse, because politicians respond only to causes supported by voters.
