Alcohol Network

The Alcohol Network aims to develop pledges for action in promoting sensible alcohol consumption.

Those invited to participate in the network are listed below, however after these initial meetings (by March 2011) six leading alcohol charities and health advocacy groups refused to join the group arguing that the government was not taking a robust enough approach with the alcohol industry in relation to public health. The six include Alcohol Concern, the British Association for the Study of the Liver, the British Liver Trust, the British Medical Association, the Institute of Alcohol Studies and the Royal College of Physicians.
