Interventions that restrict the availability of alcohol reduce the risk of harm. However, until now it has been unclear why this is the case.
In this research, the views of public health teams, police, local authority licensing teams and lawyers, and alcohol premises licensing committees were explored to identify the mechanisms of alcohol availability interventions.
