With alcohol becoming more easily available, alcohol prevention needs to take a new direction. The municipality, county administration, hospitality industry and the police have major responsibilities in this regard. Everyone needs to participate in order to stop alcohol being served to minors or to already intoxicated customers.

The method described in this booklet leads to a reduction in violent crime in restaurants, bars and pubs. The method is built on local mobilisation, training in Responsible Beverage Service (RBS), policy changes and effective enforcement. Evaluations show that the method works equally well regardless of the size of the municipality.
