Alcohol consumption is one of the causes of premature death from the main noncommunicable diseases (NCD), such as cardiovascular diseases, malignancies, diabetes. In the countries of Northern Dimension Partnership in Public Health and Social Wellbeing (NDPHW) alcohol consumption calculated for pure ethanol per person per year ranges from low ~8 L to high ≥12 L. In NDPHW countries where the inhabitants consume alcohol in low amounts, the probability of premature death from NCD is lower than in the countries with high consumption. It was shown that the events on alcohol approachability restriction were stricter in the countries with low consumption rate and hence with lower probability of premature NCD death. All NDPHW countries, except Germany and Estonia, are in the 20 of the countries with the highest score according to the politics of alcohol control that witness on effective implementation of the events for consumption control. Therefore acception and implementation of strict politics may facilitate the decrease of alcohol consumption and then, the rate of NCD premature death.
