This outlook is based on a blunt model devised in the 1950s, and ignores countless studies which have demonstrated that particular subgroups drink at extremely varied levels. Attempting to reduce a national average ignores the obvious: that heavy drinking amongst a minority drastically pushes up the average.<\/p>\n<p>In <em>Punishing the Majority<\/em>, authors John Duffy and Christopher Snowdon examine how a relatively small number of drinkers consume a disproportionately large amount of alcohol, with close to 70% of alcohol consumed by one fifth of the population. Using several examples, the authors show the extent to which per capita consumption depends on the drinking patterns of a minority.<\/p>\n<p>The paper calls for politicians and campaigners to wake up to the complex reasons behind problem drinking. Instead of favouring political interventions on price, availability and advertising, the health lobby should pursue harm-reduction and rehabilitation.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Read more at <a href='http:\/\/www.iea.org.uk\/publications\/research\/punishing-the-majority'>Punishing the Majority \u2013 The flawed theory behind alcohol control policies, by John C.
