Résumé :
The present commentary reacts to ideas including viewing alcohol use as being an important device of proper socialization, which may contrast with duties to regulate alcohol misuse. I argue that formal policies to restrict alcohol use are often based on attempting to reduce misuse of alcohol as an intoxicant, and often times support informal policies. In general, evidence-based alcohol misuse-oriented policies do not intend to greatly restrict nonharmful levels of alcohol use.
