520 This title discusses the phenomenon of alcohol abuse as a
behavioural disease and the associated costs. The author
details alcohol's status as a psychoactive drug; he notes,
however, that in contrast to other psychoactive drugs,
alcohol has been widely culturally accepted in Western
countries and legally available, except in isolated
incidents for a short period of time. Joshua considers
which policies are being correctly utilised so as to
reduce the abuse of alcohol, and how these policies may
operate on a supply and demand model. Whereas programs of
prevention and treatment operate on the demand side of
alcohol abuse, legislation is directed at the supply side
of alcohol; that is, dealing with marketing - product,
promotion, point of sales and price. This is the second
title in a four volume series 'The Economics of Addictive
Behaviours', consisting of three additional volumes on
alcohol abuse, illicit drug abuse and overeating
