dc.description | This report by Hope, Barry and Byrne is concerned with harms resulting from drinking alcohol. For many years, the focus in discussing harms from drinking was on harms suffered by the drinker. And indeed, these harms are widespread and often severe, in terms of mental disorder, injury and overdose, chronic and infectious diseases, and social functioning and welfare. Alcohol has been found to be a leading risk factor in the global burden of disease, particularly in high- and middle-income countries (GBD Risk Factors Collaborators, 2017), though such studies primarily count only harms which affect the drinker. Estimates of the societal costs of drinking in countries like Ireland have found the costs to be high (Byrne, 2010), though they mainly count costs to governments or to the drinker. | en |
