Abstract
First paragraph: Even in the face a global pandemic, alcohol persists as a leading contributor to death and disability globally. Evidence has accumulated over four decades that alcohol advertising contributes to this public health burden. Despite this evidence, governments around the globe have handed responsibility for regulating alcohol advertising to the alcohol companies themselves, which they implement with their own voluntary advertising guidelines.
