dc.description.abstractotrodiomaThis paper addresses alcohol policies in Latin America. It focuses in depth on Brazil and Mexico, and analyses convergences and differences within them and other countries. It provides a brief overview of the socio-cultural and demographic situation of the region, of alcohol availability, patterns, problems and policies implemented, and includes an analysis of what has been accomplished and the failures to implement formal measures. Countries of the region vary in rates of per capita consumption, trends and problems. Although there is a lack of information for many sites, at least three trends in per capita consumption have been identified: a decrease in at least one country, Argentina, which also has low problem rates; a stable level of consumption in Chile and Costa Rica, countries that also have advanced health care systems; and an apparent increase in the remainder of the region, mainly of beer. Low levels of consumption (expressed in terms of pure ethanol), is usually around 6 to 81 per capita, along with, paradoxically, increasing alcohol related problems, seem to prevail, together with ‘binge drinking’ as a common pattern. The overall social influence, characterized by a lack of temperance traditions and low awareness of effective means of reducing problems, have made it difficult to implement effective measures. There is an urgent need for a public health policy aimed at reducing the occasions for drinking and to induce more sensible patterns based on local cultures.es_ES
