Alcohol costs P.E.I. more than it brings in, new provincial strategy says

Prince Edward Island has unveiled a new strategy to tackle alcohol-related illnesses and harms, marking a significant shift in how the province handles alcohol regulation. This initiative comes as the province spends more on managing alcohol-related issues than it earns from alcohol sales, highlighting the broader societal costs of excessive drinking. Experts suggest this approach could set a precedent for other regions, emphasizing the importance of proactive measures to address public health concerns linked to alcohol consumption.
