“…In Studies 1 and 3, we recruited undergraduate students as participants. This is consistent with prior studies in this area that have used similar sample population (Gray et al, 2021), especially given that alcohol misuse is a prevalent risk behavior among this population (Hingson et al, 2005). Studies 2 and 4 used more diverse samples recruited via an online platform, Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk).…”

Individuals have a tendency to push back against threats and impositions from others that impinge on their perceived freedom. This issue is prevalent among issues with directive messages especially those in social marketing, such as responsible drinking messages. The current research investigates the potential role of gratitude in increasing individuals' willingness to comply with a responsible drinking message. Across four experimental studies, the present research shows that gratitude, as compared with pride and a neutral condition, is more effective in increasing the willingness to comply with the message. Specifically, our research demonstrates that gratitude reduces the psychological reactance evoked by the responsible drinking message, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of the message. The findings of this study can benefit social marketers and policymakers by highlighting the potential benefits of positive emotions to promote well‐being behaviors.

“…Scholars have criticized the use of subjective terms such as ''moderate'' (Dufour, 1999) or ''responsible'' (Moss & Albery, 2018) drinking because what constitutes moderate or responsible consumption may differ from person to person or situation to situation (Gray et al, 2021a).…”

Nigeria ranks first for per capita consumption and heavy episodic drinking prevalence in Africa. Yet, there are no alcohol policies, standard drinks measurements, or low-risk drinking guidelines in the country. We explored the awareness and understanding/interpretations of the alcohol industry-sponsored ‘‘drink responsibly’’ message (DRM) among Nigerian youths. Data were elicited through semi-structured interviews and focus groups, and we also observed product labels and industry websites. Undergraduate participants were aware of the DRM, but some out-of-school participants with low-level education did not know it existed. This is likely because the DRM is promoted in the English language without any indigenous language alternatives. It is embedded in conventional advertisements that glamorize drinking without stand-alone public health messages encouraging low-risk drinking behaviours. Participants shared divergent but subjective interpretations of the DRM, but none associated it with abstinence. Some associated the DRM with the ability to hold one’s drink, stating that it means: ‘drinks very well, but don’t get drunk’, and ‘drink to your satisfaction, but don’t misbehave’. Other interpretations included: ‘know your limit’ and ‘drink in moderation'. Alcohol companies in Nigeria redirect consumers to Drinkaware’s and DrinkIQ’s websites in the UK but use inconspicuous fonts to inscribe the DRM on product labels. By design, alcohol companies frame the DRM to promote drinking and individual responsibility. Thus, it engendered subjective interpretations, including high-risk drinking behaviours. Policymakers should jettison self-regulation, implement alcohol policies and introduce low-risk drinking guidelines to encourage low-risk drinking. Also, Drinkaware’s and DrinkIQ’s websites should be avoided. To be effective, all RDMs should include the indigenous language versions.

“…We note we are not alone in raising concerns about personal allegations made by Petticrew and colleagues in their publications. We were struck by the eloquence of Gray and colleagues' recent defense of their 2020 review article 5 that had been heavily criticized by Petticrew and colleagues 6 . They observed with concern, as do we: “Petticrew et al.’s (2020) conflation of funding sources with conflicts of interest.” 7 And, as Gray and colleagues 7 have further pointed out, it is unwarranted to leap from a position where a health professional might be influenced by a disclosed funding source, to accusing that professional of unethical behavior.…”
