Implementation of stricter alcohol policies (Finland, mid-1970s), especially alcohol advertising ban, likely protected adolescents at the time from later life alcohol-attributable adverse health.

We have worked on this study since the early days of my PhD, and I am so happy to see it published!
Some changes are impressive: among the 1980s cohort, the probability of not being parent by age 35 is 44% among men and 26% among women (all over EU). ⤵️
