A must read book by all policy makers, program designers, and health professionals." - Manoj Sharma, Editor, Journal of Alcohol and Drug Education, and Health Promotion and Education Faculty, University of Cincinnati "If policy-makers pay attention, this book could change the way they look at reducing the risks of heavy drinking, and maybe even get them to recognize some of the benefits of moderate drinking. A focus on drinking patterns and the necessity to adapt to local circumstances, combined with an appeal for collaboration among various interested constituencies, is far more realistic than the traditional aim merely to reduce consumption." - Dwight B. Heath, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Anthropology, Brown University "This volume does exactly as its title suggests. It provides examples of the different cultural contexts within which alcohol problems are evident. It examines interventions, how they fit within their cultures and communities, and offers explanations of why they work. The book acknowledges the difficulties for policy makers and practitioners involved in planning and implementing interventions, and helpfully suggests criteria which could be used in their design. Its value lies in its contribution to the debate about effective interventions in alcohol problems, and the need to achieve a balance between population wide approaches and targeted interventions." - Jack Law, Chief Executive, Alcohol Focus Scotland, Glasgow "This is a very timely book on alcohol drinking prototypes, concerted programmatic interventions, and multi-stakeholder alliances toward alcohol prevention and control.
