"Alcohol-related deaths are rising across much of the world and although the
World Health Organization has identified a number of evidence-based policies
that countries can implement to curb excess drinking, few have adopted them.
One such bright spot is Lithuania. Spurred by a high burden of alcohol-related
deaths and led by a crusading health minister, the country rapidly implemented
a series of measures that have already cut mortality in the country.
Mindaugas Štelemėkas a professor at the Lithuanian University of Health
Sciences and a specialist in alcohol policy, spoke with Think Global Health
about a “natural experiment” that the country set in motion when it began to
earnestly tackle the harms of excess drinking."
