A recent study published in Addiction<\/a> by J\u00fcrgen Rehm, Pol Rovira, Ahmed S. Hassan, Claire de Oliveira, Shannon Lange, Mark J. Thompson, Ilona Tamutien\u0117, Vaida Liutkut\u0117-Gumarov, and colleagues evaluates the impact of Lithuania\u2019s 2017 alcohol excise tax<\/a> increase. The policy raised taxes by 112% for beer, 111% for wine, and 23% for spirits, significantly reducing alcohol affordability. Using public data and World Health Organization methods, the authors conducted a return on investment (ROI) analysis from a societal perspective.<\/p>\n The study found that tax revenues rose by over \u20ac100 million, while productivity losses dropped by \u20ac35.3 million due to declines in alcohol-attributable mortality. Healthcare costs also decreased, although childcare and legal costs slightly increased. Overall, the ROI was estimated at \u20ac420 for every \u20ac1 invested, with sensitivity analyses ranging between \u20ac292 and \u20ac530. The findings demonstrate the policy\u2019s effectiveness in improving health outcomes and delivering strong economic benefits to Lithuania<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A recent study published in Addiction by J\u00fcrgen Rehm, Pol Rovira, Ahmed S.
