International Alliance for Responsible Drinking (IARD)

We are a not-for-profit organization dedicated to addressing the global public health issue of harmful drinking. We are also committed to promoting responsible drinking worldwide, and acknowledge that this can only be achieved by a collective effort shared by governments, producers, retailers, consumers, and civil society. As a global public health NGO, we work together with these stakeholders to promote policy dialogue, assess the evidence, and seek local solutions to harmful drinking globally. We are supported by the world’s leading beer, wine, and spirits producers who are our Member Companies, and Signatories to the Beer, Wine and Spirits Producers’ Commitments to Reduce Harmful Drinking. One key aspect of IARD’s work is our role as Secretariat to these Commitments. IARD was launched in 2015 to build on the two decades of research, policy analysis, and programming work done by the International Center for Alcohol Policies (ICAP), as well as the efforts of the Global Alcohol Producers Group (GAPG), both industry-supported.
