Abstract
First paragraph: As researchers who have analyzed responsible drinking campaigns, we read the above paper (Gray et al., 2020) with interest. We found the paper concerning, not least because the concept of “Responsible Drinking” is highly problematic in ways in which this paper has omitted to discuss. We are also concerned that the paper contains significant misinterpretation of the evidence, and we believe it risks disseminating misinformation about the subject.
