I can't speak directly for the NIH being funded by the companies, but in the UK and Ireland, there are Drinkaware foundations which are almost entirely funded by alcohol companies. It works quite well here


Working well for whom? I was under the impression that alcohol consumption in the UK hasn’t really taken a turn for the better in the past 20 years.


I don't have a huge amount of time to dig into this right now but the impression I get from the ONS is that the numbers are trending in the right direction - sort of. Will explore more later

Probably having a brand new account with that username, honestly.
