A European dividend is therefore essential in the fight against hazardous and harmful alcohol consumption even though it must be borne in mind that the competence conferred on the European Union by Article 152 of the Treaty only provides for complementary action and, owing to the aforementioned cultural diversity between Member States, it is difficult, if not impossible, to put forward a single model for the 27 Member States.

It is possible, however, to adopt a number of basic measures and, above all, to endeavour to educate the public to drink responsibly, to publicise the harmful effects of hazardous and harmful alcohol consumption, to remind producers and distributors of their responsibilities, to ask operators in the sector to provide the necessary support, to involve schools and families, to send out a message providing young people with positive examples and to increase awareness of risks among the more vulnerable sections of society.

The latest research conducted by the WHO shows that information campaigns aimed at these objectives and seeking to make people aware or more aware of the issues have proved particularly effective and it would therefore be appropriate to promote greater use of this type of initiative.

Dangerous and socially accepted consumption patterns are spreading in a fairly consistent manner throughout the European Union, including binge drinking, i.e. drinking more than five units of alcohol together with the aim of losing control and lowering one’s inhibitions, the simultaneous consumption of alcohol and drugs, and more frequent excessive consumption.

It is nevertheless difficult to draw the line between the stage in life when a person should be considered ‘young’ and therefore ‘at risk’ and the stage when society and institutions can pay less attention to them and allow freedom of choice to take over from legal constraints.

Similarly, BAC limits should be lowered for drivers of larger vehicles and professional drivers, given the dangerousness of such vehicles and the need to ensure that the speed of their reactions during working time is not diminished by alcohol consumption.

Early experiments are proving successful: normally, people at risk are not aware of their dangerous behaviour which can lead to alcoholism and, through this screening exercise, can be provided with advice in order to tackle the problem in good time.

The figures on the extent of the foetal alcohol syndrome, which affects 60 000 people in Europe, to which should be added the figures on underweight births in Europe owing to alcohol consumption, around 60 000 per year, show clearly that there is not enough information on the subject.
