There have been no changes for years
The idea of restrictions on the sale of alcohol returns to public debate every few years. Krzysztof Brzózka, former long-time director of the State Agency for Solving Alcohol-related Problems, admits in an interview with DGP that alcohol is a huge problem for public health in Poland. – Therefore, each restriction of access to alcohol has its justification and sense. Unfortunately, the last person in Poland who tried to do something about this matter was prof. Zbigniew Religa (Minister of Health in 2005-2007 – ed.). Then they threw up their hands, and consumption in our country only increased. Raising the excise tax did some good, but as society became richer, the effect of this change was hardly noticeable – points out the former head of PARPA.
And as he adds, in his opinion ban on night sales of alcohol should be extended. – Not only until 6, but even until 10. A big problem is eating the so-called monkeys. This applies to up to a million people, emphasizes Brzózka.
When asked about the results of the survey, Brzózka recalls a CBOS survey from a few years ago. – Poles do not want restrictions on the sale of alcohol at stations and shops, but at the same time they can admit that alcohol is a problem in Poland. A total of 90% of them admitted it, including 43% that it was “very big” and 48% that it was “rather big”. So it's a kind of cacophony and misunderstanding of the situation. We see that there is a problem, but at the same time we do not want to do much to solve it – admits the former head of PARPA.
The survey was carried out on May 10-12, 2024 by United Surveys by IBRiS for DGP and RMF FM on a sample of 1,000 adult Poles. the study was carried out using the online mix-mode method and telephone, standardized computer-assisted questionnaire interviews (CAWI/CATI).
