An international collaboration of addiction health researchers is out with updated findings on how social, cultural, and environmental factors influence alcoholism and harmful drinking, plus policy recommendations to address them. UConn School of Medicine Professor Emeritus Thomas Babor is a lead author of the third edition of Alcohol: No Ordinary Commodity.

The book is scheduled to be available for hard copy purchase in the U.S. in late January. An open-access PDF is available for free download now.
