Alcohol Issues - Episode 4
Lessons from an advocacy success story
Movendi International's weekly conversation about the latest alcohol issues in policy and science and new alcohol industry revelations.
For this fourth episode, we are talking with Caterina Giorgi, the CEO of the Foundation for Alcohol Research and Education (FARE) in Australia.
With Caterina, we discuss a massive advocacy success to secure alcohol warning labels in Australia and New Zealand against heavy alcohol industry opposition. We talk about the decision as such to understand it in detail. Caterina also reveals the tactics of the alcohol industry but the main focus of the conversation is the lessons that can be drawn from this advocacy success and what the future holds for other alcohol policy solutions.
This is an insightful, inspiring and engaging conversation that helps to shed light on some of the most important elements of successful advocacy campaigns.
This week we highlight four alcohol issues that we think deserve special attention. In policy news, we talk about Sweden’s plan to raise alcohol taxes; and we take a look at two European countries’ alcohol policy during the second wave of COVID-19 infections.
And interestingly, this week’s Science Digest and Big Alcohol Watch overlap, meaning that we are discussing two new compelling studies that help expose alcohol industry strategies.

In terms of alcohol policy news, this week we published a story about alcohol policy developments in Sweden and we take a look at the role of alcohol in the accelerating spread of the coronavirus in some countries Estonia and France) and how they are responding.
This week’s Science Digest and Big Alcohol Watch overlap, meaning that we are discussing two new compelling studies that help expose alcohol industry strategies.
The first study we want to highlight was recently published and exposes how the alcohol uses so called nudges and sludges to exploit people’s cognitive biases in order to undermine awareness of alcohol harm and recognition of scientific evidence.
The second study we want to highlight exposes alcohol industry strategies to undermine independent science.
