Abstract

The analyses by Cherpitel and colleagues on alcohol-injury risk relations will help to improve global estimates of the alcohol-attributable injury burden by supplying more specific and empirically based risk relations. However, several issues still need to be addressed: generalizability, heterogeneity of drinkers, mortality outcomes and the quantification of causal impact.
