Calls for action
Health advocates are urging the Hungarian government to implement stricter regulations on alcohol advertising and promote awareness campaigns about the dangers of underage drinking.
As we reported earlier, the Hungarian government has recently enacted stricter regulations on alcohol advertising to curb underage drinking. The revised law bans alcohol advertisements in various contexts, including on the front cover of publications, the opening page of websites, in cinemas before 8 p.m., near schools or health facilities (within 200 metres), and on products designed for children. Additionally, advertising visible from public spaces, such as shop windows, is prohibited, though the definition of “visible from public spaces” remains open to interpretation.
As Hungary grapples with this concerning trend, tackling the cultural and societal factors driving teenage drinking will be key to reversing it. Without action, the country risks a generation facing long-term health and social consequences linked to alcohol abuse.
