ABSTRACT

This chapter presents developments and actions taken in the alcohol policy field in Denmark over the past three decades. As shown in Chapter 8, the alcohol question was never a big issue on the political agenda or in general public debates. And this still applies today. However, during this period there have been important shifts and initiatives in alcohol policy, which – although not coordinated and although initiated from different political levels and from different organizations – together have contributed to drive Danish alcohol policy in a more restrictive direction.
