A) Legislation should be guided and formulated by the interests of local business
owners.
B) Alcohol policies should be equitable for all in the state.
C) Alcohol policies should be sensitive to cultural contexts.
D) Legislation should protect those with substance use disorders from serving
extended prison sentences.
E) Legislation should protect those exposed to the harmful effects of drinking by
others.
Ans: B, C, E
Feedback:
Public policies and interventions to prevent and reduce alcohol-related harm should be
guided and formulated by public health interests, not the interests of local business
owners, and based on clear public health goals and best available evidence. Alcohol
policies should be equitable and sensitive to national, religious, and cultural contexts.
Protection of populations at high risk for alcohol-related harm and those exposed to the
harmful effects of drinking by others should be an integral part of public health policies.
Populations affected by the harmful use of alcohol should have access to affordable and
effective prevention and care services. Legislation should not protect those with
substance use disorders from serving extended prison sentences.
