Alcohol harms ['New Zealand Medical Journal' editorial].
This editorial comments on several articles in this issue of the New Zealand Medical Journal, on the impact of the harm due to alcohol suffered by people other than the drinker, people including children. For instance, it is estimated that the number of victims in alcohol-related housefires were high, with the number of secondary victims - almost half of them children - accounting for a quarter of deaths.
One of the authors of the editorial, Professor Doug Sellman, told the NZ Herald (25 /5 /'12, page A10) that not enough was heard about alcohol's innocent victims and that the lack of evidence concerning children was 'scandalous'. A printout of the Herald article is attached.
