摘要:The global burden of disease from alcohol exceeds that of tobacco and is on a par with the burdenattributable to unsafe sex worldwide. To provide a global picture of the status of alcohol as a factor inworld health, the report begins with an overview describing the types of alcohol available around theworld and summarizing data and trends in recorded and unrecorded alcohol production and adult percapita consumption of alcohol. Prevalence of drinking and drinking patterns in the WHO regions andamong key sub-populations such as men, women and young people are described. The overview providesstatistics on the leading national producers, importers and exporters of alcohol, and describes the changingorganization of alcohol production and trends toward globalized alcohol commodities heavily supportedby marketing.
