The effect of proportional pricing on alcohol purchasing in two online experiments
INTRODUCTION The serving, bottle and glass size of alcoholic drinks influence alcohol consumption [1]. People consume less alcohol if alcohol is served in smaller servings [2] or consumed from smaller bottles [3] and restaurants sell more wine when standard glassware is replaced with larger glasses [4, 5]. Given the costs of harmful alcohol consumption to individuals and society [6], it could have substantial benefits for public health if alcohol consumers switched from larger to smaller products.
