EU unveils strategy against alcohol abuse
The European Union (EU) on Tuesday unveiled its new strategy to tackle alcohol abuse, highlighting what need to be done to protect the young and to reduce alcohol-related traffic accidents. The policy paper, adopted by the EU's executive European Commission on Tuesday, sets out five priorities in the fight against excessive alcohol drinking, which causes an estimated 195,000 deaths a year in the EU. The priorities are: to protect young people and children; reduce injuries and deaths from alcohol-related road accidents; prevent harm among adults and reduce the negative impact on the economy; raise awareness of the impact on health of harmful alcohol consumption; and help gather reliable statistics.
