In unserer Studie beziehen wir uns übrigens auf die alten Grenzwerte für riskanten Alkoholkonsum (12g [Frauen]/24g [Männer] Reinakohol pro Tag). Mit den neuen Grenzwerten wäre der Anteil also deutlich(!) höher: edoc.rki.de/handle/17690...

For further reading, current US context, and guidance for future research, I recommend this nice commentary from Robinson & Veerman doi.org/10.1016/S246...

On that note, mortality will be part of the SIMAH model to come. Stay tuned.

Thanks to all my coauthors who made this work possible (esp. as the entire revision process took place during my mat leave) 🙏

Now, raising prices for beer and spirits markedly, we found larger declines in alcohol use among these high-risk groups. And larger reductions in intake will lead to larger declines in health harms.

All details on the microsimulation model (www.camh.ca/simah) are available in the Supplement.
Simulation of Alcohol Control Policies for Health Equity (SIMAH)
SIMAH is an international collaboration between researchers at three world-leading centres in alcohol research and policy modelling, led by investigators at CAMH.

In our modelling, we increased US average prices for alcoholic beverages: either to the same extent or for beer and spirits in particular

Why beer and spirits? They are pretty cheep (compared to wine) and preferred by high-risk alcohol users (men, very high consumption, low socioeconomic status)
