TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - Commentary on 'Communicating messages about drinking': using the 'big legal guns' to block alcohol health warning labels JO - Alcohol and alcoholism A1 - O'Brien, Paula A1 - Gleeson, Deborah A1 - Room, Robin G. W. A1 - Wilkinson, Claire SP - 333 EP - 336 VL - 53 IS - 3 N2 - Like the tobacco industry, the alcohol industry, with the support of governments in alcohol exporting nations, is looking to international trade and investment law as a means to oppose health warning labels on alcohol.
