Alcohol consumption is a major contributor to preventable illness, injury, and mortality worldwide. While long-term regulatory approaches such as taxation and availability controls are widely studied, governments also frequently introduce short-term alcohol policies in response to acute events, including public health emergencies, elections, and large-scale gatherings. These temporary measures are often implemented rapidly, with varying objectives and limited evaluation of their outcomes. Questions remain about their effectiveness, unintended consequences, and how lessons can be shared across jurisdictions. In this episode, we explore how short-term alcohol policies are used globally and what is needed to assess their impact more systematically.
