Consultation on the Alcohol Strategy - Changing Scotland's Relationship With AlcoholProposals for tackling alcohol misuse in Scotland were launched in June 2008. This is an open discussion and will give people the opportunity to shape future policy on alcohol in Scotland.
The discussion document 'Changing Scotland's Relationship with Alcohol' sets out the Scottish Government's strategic approach to dealing with alcohol misuse, illustrating the scale of alcohol-related harm and how addressing this can help to deliver a Wealthier and Fairer, Safer and Stronger, Healthier and Smarter Scotland.
It outlines key actions already underway which will contribute to tackling both the underlying causes of, and the negative effects resulting from, Scotland's complex relationship with alcohol.
The framework for action also sets out new proposals to reduce alcohol-related harm in Scotland, on which views are invited.
Informed by the comments generated by the discussion paper, the next stage is to work to develop more specific actions.
The section on having your say outlines how to submit comments and join the discussion.
