*520  $aThe book provides up-to-date information on consumpton patterns and the extent of negative effects associated with alcohol consumption in the German population. Estimates for the prevalence of abstinence, and of low-risk, hazardous, harmful and high-risk consumption, are derived from epidemiological studies. Hazardous and harmful consumption is clearly associated with a number of psychological, social and health problems, and also has a significant economic impact on society as a whole. Based on information from routine statistics and surveys, the negative consequences associated with alcohol consumption such as dependence, suicide, violence, or traffic accidents are assessed, and methodological problems (such as standardizing alcohol contents) are discussed. In its final section the book contains suggestions about how to establish reasonable limits on consumption and how to communicate these to health professionals and the general public.
