(Colombo: Institute of Policy Studies of Sri Lanka, 2013-12) Dayaratne, G.D.
The main objective of this study is to formulate a balanced policy option for decision makers as Sri Lanka never had a comprehensive alcohol policy, inspite of continuity of enhancing state revenue from legal alcohol. This study reviews the opinions of a cross- section of stakeholders from the industry, wholesalers, retailers, illicit brewers and producers, moderate drinkers, law enforcement officials, government officials and religious dignitaries , to develop a rational policy framework to implement, monitor and enforce it effectively.
