Description

When the South African government banned the sale of alcohol during the Covid-19 lockdown, hospital trauma admissions plummeted, putting the issue of alcohol abuse centre stage. Cait talks to Professor Charles Parry, Director of the Alcohol , Tobacco & Other Drug Research Unit of the South African Medical Research Council (SAMRC), about the causes and consequences of alcohol abuse, the role of the industry and the policy measures that could solve the problem.
