This essay got me thinking about what are the best incentives for human behaviour to change. Would taxes curb alcohol abuse or would education? While Krien reflects specifically on the Indigenous communities in the Northern Territory of Australia's relationship with alcohol, the overarching concepts seem applicable all round.
Specifically on the subject of alcohol's impact on Indigenous communities though, Krien does a good job of outlining the complexities, outlining "the ramifications of entangling drinking rights with equal rights." What a sensitive and complex issue. I finished this essay with no more answers but curious to see whether alcohol will follow in the footsteps of nicotine. Can we save ourselves yet?
