WEAK POINTS• Irrelevant with country context: • ignore local concerns • weak references: situation, alcohol-related trend• not addressing country existing policies
• Not related with WHO recommendations: industry’s role• Focusing on alcohol beverage industry self-regulation• Individual approach > public health strategies
