Abstract
In the last 30 years, major changes have taken place in Europe in patterns of alcohol consumption and related policies. As a social scientist born in 1980, I am pleased to comment on the article by Nemtsov et al. (2019, this issue), because the period analyzed by the authors is essentially the story of my life.
I can remember the first part of the analyzed period only as a young person who was acquiring information about the world and its drinking habits. I can also remember the second part as a young (recently getting older) academic person who was encountering alcohol use and its consequences in my own personal career.
