Edited sentence: : No Ordinary Commodity: Alcohol and Public Policy, Oxford Press, 2003) The World Health Organization, the European Union and other regional bodies are working on alcohol action plans and programs, which should encourage individual states to introduce similar programs.Alcohol politics are a rather unbeloved theme because very often consumer behavior, personal economic interest, and simply social reality are hinderances for an objective  approach and way of acting.Because alcohol problems affect society as a whole, it is a part of the political responsibility  of governments and parliaments to build up an alcohol policy in order to reduce the harm by alcohol consumption.Educational prevention has shown to be only effective by raising the knowledge and perhaps the readiness to accept higher prices.It doesn't change drinking behavior.Scientific research has found that taxation and a ban on advertising are the most effective ways to reduce alcohol consumption.The tragedy is that those countries in Africa and Asia are not prepared to fight against alcohol problems and there is no social network to help alcoholics or their families.They concentrate their expansion and promotion now to the Third World, as sales in the industrialized countries have more or less stopped growing.Unfortunately, the alcohol industry is well organized and lobbying all over the world to undermine such efforts
