"Countries are aware of the problem, but several haven't made a real commitment to implementing the recommendations," Sridhar told LiveScience. "The problem is not with ministries of health but with ministries of finance, trade, etc. who prioritize other interests first."
I think an equal or greater issue is that people just like to drink alcohol. If you make it too difficult to get a popular substance legally, people find ways to do it illegally. It's just that simple. From where I stand, you can only reduce alcohol use so much (or any drug for that matter).
