Exploring alcohol abuse as a behavioral disease, the author examines its unique status as a culturally accepted and legally available psychoactive substance in Western societies. He analyzes the costs associated with this phenomenon and evaluates existing policies aimed at reducing alcohol abuse. The discussion highlights the distinction between demand-side interventions, such as prevention and treatment programs, and supply-side legislation focused on marketing strategies, including product promotion and pricing.
