Abstract: Excessive alcohol intake is a major public health challenge worldwide and has been identified as one of the main determinants of a variety of non-communicable diseases [1]. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 4.5% of the global burden of disease and injury, and 4% of all deaths worldwide are attributable to alcohol [2]. Alcohol is the leading risk factor for death among males aged 15–59years, particularly in Eastern Europe [2,3].
