Abstract

In this article, I document strategies used by alcohol producers to influence national and global science and policy. Their strategies include producingscholarlypublications with incomplete, distorted views of the science underlying alcohol policies; pressuring national and internationalgovernmental institutions; and encouraging collaboration ofpublic health researchers with alcohol industry- funded organizations and researchers. I concludewith a call for an enhanced research agenda drawing on sources seldom used by public health research, morefocusedresourcing of global public health bodies such as the World Health Organization to counterbalance industry initiatives, development of technical assistanceandother materials to assistcountrieswitheffective alcohol-control strategies, and further development of an ethical stance regarding collaborationwithindustries that profit from unhealthy consumption of their products.
