This week, I'm joined by the brilliant Jem Roberts, head of the Institute of Alcohol Studies. Jem brings a ton of insight into the messy world of alcohol policy, and we unpack what's really going on behind the headlines. We talk about why certain policies, like minimum unit pricing and better labelling, could save lives, and why they're still not being properly implemented. Jem also sheds light on the surprising influence of alcohol-free drinks, the gaps in cancer education, and how commercial interests often clash with public health goals. It's a sobering look at how we handle booze at the policy level. If you've ever wondered why alcohol labels don't tell you the full story - or how we could actually make drinking safer - this one's for you. Here are the highlights: Impact of Delayed Health Warnings
