The economics of addictive behaviours volune II : the private and social costs of the abuse of alcohol and their remedies / Private and social costs of smoking and their remedies John Joshua - Cham, Switzerland : Palgrave Macmillan, c2017. - ix, 124 p. : ill. ; 23 cm. - Palgrave pivot . - Palgrave pivot .
Includes bibliographgical references and ibndex.
This title discusses the phenomenon of alcohol abuse as a behavioural disease and the associated costs. The author details alcohol’s status as a psychoactive drug; he notes, however, that in contrast to other psychoactive drugs, alcohol has been widely culturally accepted in Western countries and legally available, except in isolated incidents for a short period of time. Joshua considers which policies are being correctly utilised so as to reduce the abuse of alcohol, and how these policies may operate on a supply and demand model. Whereas programs of prevention and treatment operate on the demand side of alcohol abuse, legislation is directed at the supply side of alcohol; that is, dealing with marketing – product, promotion, point of sales and price.
