ICAP is a not-for-profit organization, supported by major producers of beverage alcohol. It is a resource for all those interested in alcohol policy worldwide. ICAP promotes dialogue involving the drinks industry, the research and public health communities, government, and civil society, encouraging them to work together.
Most ICAP publications are available online, and many have been translated in part or in full into several languages.
ICAP Issues Briefings address specific topics relevant to alcohol policy, providing a succinct overview of key evidence. Where appropriate, they include an analysis of intended and unintended outcomes, country-level case studies, and main positions around a particular debate. We recommend that the Issues Briefings be used in conjuction with ICAP's other Policy Tools, including the ICAP Blue Book and ICAP Policy Guides. ICAP Issues Briefings are updated on an ongoing basis.
