Alcohol control refers to the regulations and policies implemented to manage the production, distribution, and consumption of alcoholic beverages. These measures aim to reduce alcohol-related harm, promote public health, and ensure responsible drinking. Common strategies include age restrictions, licensing requirements for sellers, and limits on advertising. Governments often enforce alcohol control through laws that vary by region. For example, the legal drinking age is set to prevent underage consumption, while taxation on alcohol can discourage excessive drinking. Additionally, public awareness campaigns educate individuals about the risks associated with alcohol misuse and promote healthier choices.
