Conflict of interest statement

NC is on the board of directors at Alcohol Focus Scotland. NC has received unrelated funding from the Institute of Public Health in Ireland to support his fellowship research examining implementation of the Public Health (Alcohol) Act, but this funding does not relate to the legislative controls concerning the labelling of alcoholic drinks. NC has previously received unrelated funding from Cancer Research UK to examine adolescents’ recall of information and health messaging on alcohol packaging. NC is a co-investigator on the UK-Ireland Alcohol Research Network (ACORN), which is jointly funded by the UK’s Economic and Social Research Council and the Irish Research Council. CM and DJ have received unrelated funding from Alcohol Focus Scotland for research exploring drinkers’ response to health information and warnings on alcohol packaging. DJ has previously received a PhD studentship from the University of Stirling to examine consumer reactions to alcohol packaging and labelling.
