Commentary on: Yoshimoto, H., Kawaida, K., Dobashi, S. et al. Effect of provision of non-alcoholic beverages on alcohol consumption: a randomized controlled study. BMC Med 2023; 21, 379. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12916-023-03085-1
Implications for practice and research There is scope for public health to consider non-alcoholic beverages as a potential strategy to reduce alcohol consumption in adults who drink excessively. Future research should explore whether non-alcoholic beverages can reduce alcohol consumption in a wider range of countries and in different population groups, such as individuals with a diagnosis of alcohol dependence.
Alcohol is a risk factor in over 200 health conditions, and 2016 data shows it accounts for 5.3% of overall deaths worldwide.
