N2  - Moderate alcohol consumption (1 drink per day) reduces global mortality by preventing cardiovascular event. More than 1 drink per day is not associated with this benefit. Indeed, 6.5% of all death in Europe is attributable to alcohol. Beside suicide and trauma, excessive alcohol consumption (> 7 drinks per week in women and > 14 drinks per week in man) is responsible of several organ injuries: increase of cancer incidence, cirrhosis, pancreatitis, cardiac insufficiency, brain lesions going to dementia in its severe form. The most cost-effective policies are those that reduce availability of alcohol, either through the pricing policies or the hours and places of sale, as well as implementation of minimum age purchase laws.<p /> <p>Language: fr</p>
