Abstract Recent epidemiological and social studies have increasingly pointed to the importance of drinking patterns in explaining consequences alcohol consumption. This paper presents recommendations for research area based on presentations discussions first “International Conference Social Health Effects Different Drinking Patterns” held Toronto November 1995.

The emergent and growing body of research on alcohol's harm to others (AHTO), or secondhand effects drinking, has important implications for prevention, intervention, policy. Those victimized by other drinkers tend favor effective alcohol policies more than their nonvictimized peers, but often a community's impulse will be combat AHTO targeting stigmatizing individual heavy drinkers, rather taking public health approach reducing harm. Here we discuss opportunities challenges in selecting...
