Evaluation of alcohol taxes as a public health opportunity to reduce liver transplant listings for alcohol-related liver disease.
Alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) is a leading indication for liver transplantation. In this study, the investigators evaluated alcohol taxes as a public health opportunity to reduce liver transplant listings for alcohol-related liver disease. The investigators concluded that transplant listings for ALD were directly associated with spirit consumption and inversely associated with spirits excise taxes. They indicate that these findings suggest a possible public health benefit of increasing excise taxes for spirits.
