Infrahealth politics: Leveraging bartenders’ expertise in alcohol management - An ethnography

Bartenders play an 'infrahealth role', reducing risks associated with alcohol consumption outside the formal framework of public health. Their harm reduction intervention ranges from adjusting beverage offerings to preventing conflicts. Acknowledging that grassroots stakeholders such as bartenders contribute to tackling AUD, and strengthening the collaboration of health professionals and local authorities with these stakeholders, could help promote safer and more responsible alcohol consumption practices.
