Public policy on alcohol in the United Kingdom fails to support, and may even undermine, the wellbeing of those with the worst alcohol misuse problems, the alcohol-dependent. This is partly because it evades the thorny issue of impaired control that characterises dependence. In addition, until recently, all United Kingdom alcohol policy focused on improving individualised treatment for the dependent, rather than attending to the wider social and environmental factors that influence the condition. The efforts of policy to normalise "sensible" drinking, while stigmatising drunkenness, also risk exacerbating the social vulnerability of the alcohol-dependent. The article examines these issues and concludes by pointing to a number of developments that are required to help ensure that the dependent do not continue to fall through policy that claims to be inclusive.
英国关于酒精的公共政策未能支持，甚至可能损害那些酒精滥用问题最严重的人，即酒精依赖者的福祉。部分原因在于它回避了以依赖为特征的控制受损这一棘手问题。此外，直到最近，英国所有的酒精政策都侧重于改善对依赖者的个性化治疗，而不是关注影响该状况的更广泛的社会和环境因素。政策将“适度”饮酒正常化，同时贬低醉酒行为，这也有可能加剧酒精依赖者的社会脆弱性。本文探讨了这些问题，并指出需要一些发展来确保依赖者不会继续因声称具有包容性的政策而被忽视，以此作为结论。
