The global strategy to reduce the harmful use of alcohol, endorsed by the Sixty-third World Health Assembly in May 2010, recognizes the close links between the harmful use of alcohol and socioeconomic development. It represents the commitment by the Member States of the World Health Organization to sustained action at all levels. It also builds on several WHO global and regional strategic initiatives, including the action plan for the global strategy for the prevention and control of noncommunicable diseases which was endorsed by the World Health Assembly in 2008.
