Zero alcohol products and adolescents: A tool for harm reduction or a trojan horse?

Introduction: Zero alcohol products (ZAPs) could reduce alcohol-related harms by acting as a substitute for alcoholic beverages. However, concerns have been raised regarding the potential for these products to expose young people to additional alcohol-related stimuli, further normalising alcohol use and acting as a gateway to underage alcohol consumption. Scarce research has examined whether these concerns are warranted.

Objective: Some claims on alcohol labels highlight virtuous aspects of brands or products, including in health-, eco-, and cause-oriented domains (including charity partnerships, or ethical or humanitarian certifications). This virtue marketing may create a "halo" whereby consumers generalize from specific attributes to a more favorable overall appraisal of the product, brand, or even alcohol or the alcohol industry in general. This study aims to describe the prevalence of and trends over time in virtue marketing on the packaging of new alcohol (including lower- and zero-alcohol) products on the Australian market.

Article Synopsis
  • Zero-alcohol beverages (0.0-0.5% alcohol) might help reduce overall alcohol consumption if used as substitutes for traditional alcoholic drinks, but they raise concerns about attracting adolescents to alcohol and increasing exposure to branding.
  • A study with 38 parents of teens aged 12-17 revealed that while some parents viewed these beverages as adult options that could promote healthier drinking habits, they believed they were unnecessary for adolescents and could normalize alcohol use.
  • Parents expressed mixed feelings about allowing zero-alcohol drinks for their kids, with worries about possible negative consequences, indicating a need for targeted public health messaging about the risks associated with these products.
