Ukraine is not to blame for this war brought about by Russia’s illegal invasion.

We stand with Ukraine. 🇺🇦 🇮🇪

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people.

Be strong, be brave, be fearless.
You are never alone, dear President @ZelenskyyUa.

We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

@InstAlcStud On this topic, and considering other 'Sweetspot' policies that could improve public health without harming pubs - see our paper: Reducing alcohol harms whilst minimising impact on hospitality businesses: 'Sweetspot' policy options - PubMed (https://t.co/P8zdgqykK6)

[IAS @InstAlcStud]

"Nobody seriously argues the tobacco industry should be involved in developing policies to reduce smoking, & it’s no more credible to suggest alcohol producers would contribute positively to policies to reduce the [negative] impacts of their products."

And if anyone is coming to the KBS conference in Freemantle in a couple of weeks, I'll be some presenting some exciting new analysis on a similar theme looking at how these reforms may have affected the spending of different population groups.

This is why I'm *really* worried about the record high alcohol-specific deaths figures that ONS published yesterday.

We modelled the impact of increases in drinking during the pandemic on health, and what's happened is much worse than our worst case scenario (those dots😬).
