Abstract
This chapter represents a synopsis of a research project which was begun in 1973 under the auspices of the Finnish Foundation for Alcohol Studies. The original aims of the study were rather loosely set. The main idea was to conduct a broad analysis of the world’s alcohol industry, paying particular attention to the role of the international alcohol trade. It soon became evident that no study of alcohol consumption, founded on comprehensive international data, existed—not to speak of such aspects of the alcohol question as production and trade. Again, this meant that the first task was to form a general impression of the consumption of alcohol in recent years. Looked at in this light, it became clear that this study of international alcohol production and trade should address itself to one main issue: what role do production and trade play in the virtually world-wide growth of the consumption of alcohol? In the course of the study it became increasingly evident that this question can only be answered by coming to grips with the theoretical problem of how to explain the growth of the consumption of alcohol generally.
