Articles from International Alliance for Responsible Drinking

As the festive season gets underway, new attitudinal research of more than 2,000 adults from the US and UK conducted by the International Alliance for Responsible Drinking (IARD) shows that most Americans are prepared to take a balanced, self-moderated approach to drinking this festive season – and are increasingly weary of moralised messaging on alcohol consumptioni.

Julian Braithwaite, President & CEO of IARD, said: “The new UN Political Declaration marks an important moment in global health. While we have seen progress in reducing the harmful use of alcohol, challenges remain, and action must be accelerated. As a science-based organisation with official NGO status at the UN, IARD is committed to supporting governments, civil society, and the WHO in implementing solutions that focus on harmful consumption. Through a whole-of-society approach, we can build on the progress already made and contribute to the shared goal of reducing harmful drinking and improving public health by 2030.”
