Population-wide interventions are the most cost-effective approach to tackle the root causes of and reduce overall alcohol consumption and harm. Many global commitments and surveillance systems use per capita alcohol consumption (APC) to track progress in implementing alcohol policy solutions. The APC presents many advantages as an indicator:
- being readily available,
- extremely reliable,
- comparable across settings, and
- closely associated with alcohol-related harm.
