“…ZAPs can resemble alcohol products in all ways except for their alcohol content, including sharing a known alcohol brand identity. This brand sharing enables alcohol brands to be marketed in places and times where marketing for alcohol products is restricted [68]. Further, at a brand level, ZAPs have their own brand identity, often comprising nutrition claims [8], yet the requirements for production and labelling and packaging for ZAPs are not clear cut [9,51,52,55].…”

IssuesThere is a decline in youth drinking, but also a causal link between alcohol marketing and drinking among young people. Therefore, novel alcohol marketing strategies should be scrutinised, particularly where children are exposed. This includes marketing for zero‐alcohol products (ZAP) (containing 0.00% to 1.15% alcohol by volume), which has expanded considerably in recent times. This review examines how the current industry‐managed regulatory approach to alcohol marketing applies to ZAPs in Western Australia.ApproachThe marketing mix (four Ps of marketing: product, promotion, place, price) was used as a framework to examine federal and state government policies and industry managed codes. Policies were included if they applied to marketing of alcohol products, for example, product labelling, promotion and advertising across various media, the place of purchase and pricing measures (taxation).Key FindingsZAPs were inconsistently defined, meaning that products between 0.05% and 1.15% alcohol by volume were covered under some but not all alcohol policy measures, and application to products under 0.5% alcohol by volume was limited.ImplicationsGovernment policy should more clearly define alcohol marketing and whether ZAPs and other alcohol brand extensions should be treated in the same way as alcoholic products.ConclusionIn Western Australia, the ways in which alcohol policy measures apply to ZAPs are limited and close attention must be paid to how ZAPs may provide additional marketing opportunities for the alcohol industry.

“…Alcoholic beverages are frequently consumed by fans during football games and alcohol companies sponsor major football teams and tournaments. [1][2][3] Drinking has also been common among football players, and numerous players (including some of the finest in history), have had alcohol addiction during and after their careers. 4 Giuseppe Meazza, of Inter Milan and the Italian national team that won the 1934 and 1938 World Cups, was known for his nightly drinking, often arriving late and hungover to practice and games.…”

“…The period of transitioning out of elite sports can be challenging, and retirement from elite sports has been linked with mental health problems and alcohol related disorders 14151617. Moreover, a football related drinking culture affecting both players and fans has been highlighted as a potential public health concern 1234. Data on the epidemiology of alcohol related disorders among elite football players could inform the need for psychosocial support and prevention of such disorders among elite football players and the discussion regarding the association between football, alcohol, and public health.…”

Objectives To assess whether male elite football players are at increased risk of alcohol related disorders compared with men from the general population, and whether such an increased risk would vary on the basis of calendar year of the first playing season in the top tier of competition, age, career length, and goal scoring abilities. Design Nationwide cohort study. Setting Sweden, 1924-2020. Participants 6007 male football players who had played in the Swedish top division, Allsvenskan, from 1924 to 2019 and 56 168 men from the general population matched to players based on age and region of residence. Main outcome measures Primary outcome was alcohol related disorders (diagnoses recorded in death certificates, during hospital admissions and outpatient visits, or use of prescription drugs for alcohol addiction); secondary outcome was disorders related to misuse of other drugs. Results During follow-up up to 31 December 2020, 257 (4.3%) football players and 3528 (6.3%) men from the general population received diagnoses of alcohol related disorders. In analyses accounting for age, region of residence, and calendar time, risk of alcohol related disorders was lower among football players than among men from the general population (hazard ratio 0.71, 95% confidence interval 0.62 to 0.81). A reduced risk of alcohol related disorders was observed for football players who played their first season in the top tier in the early 1960s and later, while no significant difference versus men from the general population was seen in the risk for football players from earlier eras. The hazard ratio was lowest at around age 35 years, and then increased with age; at around age 75 years, football players had a higher risk of alcohol related disorders than men from the general population. No significant association was seen between goal scoring, number of games, and seasons played in the top tier and the risk of alcohol related disorders. Risk of disorders related to other drug misuse was significantly lower among football players than the general population (hazard ratio 0.22, 95% confidence interval 0.15 to 0.34). Conclusions In this nationwide cohort study, male football players who had played in the Swedish top tier of competition had a significantly lower risk of alcohol related disorders than men from the general population.
