'Lifestyle Regulation' that I organise together with the Global Risk
Forum and the European Journal of Risk Regulation in Davos, Switzerland,

The objective of this event is to gather researchers, policymakers,
industry representatives, and academics to discuss the moral, political
and legal issues surrounding the ongoing debate about regulatory action
on lifestyle risk factors, such as unhealthy diets, harmful use of
alcohol, use of tobacco and lack of physical exercise.

• David Spiegelhalter - Professor of the Public Understanding of Risk -
University of Cambridge 
• Gus Jaspert - Head of Drug and Alcohol Strategy - UK Home Office

Alcohol
