... One large body has been concerned on the welfare costs of taxation, the cost arising from the distortion of consumption patterns. The other has concentrated on the social costs of alcohol, the individual and economic costs arising from alcohol-related mortality and morbidity. The author of this paper, although originally intending to make a discussion of the welfare costs associated with the taxation of alcohol consumption in the Philippines, had been constrained to pursue this line of research. Insufficient empirical evidence on the efficacy of a national tax policy, and the findings that alcohol taxation has been directed more toward revenue-generation than public health improvement and achieving economic efficiency, have thus guided the author to concentrate on the social implications of alcohol and the control policies, both economic and non-economic, to address alcohol-related problems.
