The alcohol consumption is an important public health problem, classified in Europe as a third risk factor for disease and premature death after smoking and arterial hypertension. The National Observatory on Alcohol (ONA) evaluates and analyses every year the national databases and conducts monitoring on behalf of the Ministry of Health and in accordance with the National Statistical Plan and the activities of the “Alcohol monitoring system – SISMA” envisaged by the Decree of the President of the Council of Ministers of 3 March 2017 and by the recent start-up at ISS of the “central action” SIAS-SISTIMAL “International SIstema e Azione di Supporto a SISTIMAL” aimed at the evaluation of implementation of national and regional alcohol that the Ministry of Health is committed in providing to World Health Organization (WHO). The ONA, as WHO Collaborating Centre for Research and Health Promotion on Alcohol and Alcohol-related Health Problem, is the independent technical and scientific advisory body for the Ministries, the first Minister Office, the European Commission and the WHO. The drafting of this report took place during the new coronavirus pandemic but mainly refers to 2019 data. The future challenge will be to tackle the alcohol problem according to the new epidemiological scenarios redesigned by the COVID-19 emergency.
