Alcohol misuse is a global challenge and a major concern in Uganda. Harmful use of alcohol is responsible for 3.3 million deaths every year (one death every 10 seconds) and alcohol use leads to more than 200 disease and injury conditions including a range of mental and behavioural disorders. Alcohol is a massive obstacle to development, adversely affecting 13 of 17 Sustainable Development Goals, fuelling poverty, inequality, violence, including gender-based violence, and vast economic and productivity losses.
