Question: I’ve noticed CE is investing in tobacco regulation. This has made me wonder if alcohol regulation been considered as a cause area? In some ways its externalities are worse (e.g. domestic violence). I’m very uncertain about its tractability and neglectedness compared to tobacco though.
GiveWell has funded Vital Strategy’s alcohol work, OP has their global health policy focus area (inclusive of alcohol) and CE has incubated the Centre for Alcohol Policy Solutions (though I have limited visibility on their success since incubation a few years ago).
Check out CE’s report on alcohol and tobacco for a short primer; you can also compare their assessment of success rates and neglectedness.
