Abstract
Socio-economic inequalities in alcohol-attributable mortality make an important contribution to socio-economic health inequalities overall. A comprehensive approach to reducing socio-economic inequalities in alcohol-related health requires combining the implementation of evidence-based, cost-effective alcohol control policies with broader policy measures that act upon the structural, economic and social root causes of socioeconomic inequalities.
