Abstract

|
|
Objectives: Alcohol use is the third risk factor causing death and disability in Korea. Thus, we examined past discussions about health promotion funds and alcohol taxes and explored possible way to secure health promotion funds for alcohol.
Methods: We used data from the proceedings of the 2023 spring Korea Health Promotion and Education Conference. We supplemented this with a literatures pertaining to public health alcohol policies and taxes using the snowballing method.
Results: Many members of the National Assembly and professors and researchers of universities and other similar institutions have suggested various alternatives to obtain health promotion funds for alcohol. However, the passing of several bills for health promotion funds for alcohol have been restricted since 1996 mainly because of resistance to increased taxation.
Conclusion: Health promotion funds for alcohol require decreased alcohol tax, changed demand for exotic alcohols, -increased burden of alcohol to health insurance finance -and global standardization. Therefore, we urgently need to employ a society and government-level approach in this-post COVID-19.
