Summary
The WHO Global Monitoring Framework for Non-Communicable Diseases includes an ambitious global target of a 10% reduction in the harmful use of alcohol by 2025. A modelling study by Jakob Manthey and colleagues in The Lancet indicates that this goal will not be met, with a plateau in consumption in high-income countries offset by marked projected increases in middle-income countries.
