For at løse problemerne må punktafgifterne mindskes, i særdeleshed når det gælder vin og øl. Endvidere må monopolerne brydes, der må iværksættes en oplysningsindsats med henblik på at "opdrage" til moderat indtagelse af vin og øl, således at disse drikke bliver til gavn for sundhed og livskvalitet.
I shall conclude by saying that the solution to the problem of alcoholism in Scandinavia does not involve derogations to cater for the monopoly, but rather by reducing excise duties, particularly on wine and beer, by abolishing monopolies, and by means of an information and education policy which favours the moderate consumption of wine and beer, to make it beneficial to health and quality of life.
