Ask the Expert
The effects of alcohol in society, both positive and negative, affect a unique cross-disciplinary community of scientific, social, medical, public health and legal specialists. Unfortunately, the knowledge held by this committed group of individuals has remained largely in obscurity. By creating a channel of communication we hope to cast light on the work of this tireless community. Ask the Expert is your opportunity to field questions directly to these specialists:
