Alcohol: Is our love affair with alcohol causing more pleasure or pain?

This meeting is the second in a series of public access meetings being organised by the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland. It is being run by the Faculty of Public Health Medicine. The choice of topic - our relationship with alcohol - has been chosen because alcohol related problems are among the top three health problems globally according to the World Health Organisation. We know that in Ireland we have particular problems over and above most countries. The aim of the meeting is to generate public discussion on our alcohol problems and suggest solutions. There is no charge to attend but registration is required.
