Honored to be a presenter at today’s @USAlcoholPolicy Advocates Institute!

[US Alcohol Policy Alliance @USAlcoholPolicy]

Today, advocates, experts, and industry leaders came together to redefine the narrative on alcohol policies in the U.S. 40 attendees from 15 states and Canada learned strategies for translating alcohol policy research into public health practice. And learned from them!

[US Alcohol Policy Alliance @USAlcoholPolicy]

“Everything that we're seeing around this rulemaking is emblematic of the lack of attention to and care for the public health issue around alcohol. We don't even have any idea what goes into the alcohol we drink and we know that alcohol is a carcinogen.”

No coincidence: Colorado has some of lowest alcohol taxes & highest drinking deaths.

Fact: As drinking deaths rose in Colorado, beer & wine became more available.
