Plans drawn up for a war on drink
A global strategy against alcohol plans to match the health successes of international controls on tobacco which prevent harm to non-smokers from passive smoking. The strategy is in light of a growing realisation of the scale of damage caused to non-drinkers as a result of other people drinking.
