Many would consider alcohol consumption as having an even more harmful social impact than smoking

Many would consider alcohol consumption as having an even more harmful social impact than smoking. Aside from the addiction and health problems alcohol consumption can lead to, alcohol is also linked to increased rates of domestic violence and other criminal actions, including drink driving, which is an issue that may result in injury, death, and grief for families and communities alike. However, despite this, alcohol companies are free to promote and sell their products as they wish as long as they do so within the restrictions placed on them by governments and the law. Evaluate this issue using utilitarianism. The stakeholders you need to consider are consumers, the government, alcohol companies, local communities and community health services
