This messiness can arise from multiple sources, including lack of researcher control over the intervention, unmeasured confounding and a poor or inappropriate counterfactual. Furthermore, it is commonplace for multiple studies to be undertaken that explore a similar research question but incorporate diverse study types (e.g. qualitative and quantitative), methodological designs (e.g. cross‐sectional and longitudinal), data sources (e.g. self‐report surveys and retail sales), populations of interest (e.g. general population and dependent drinkers), time‐periods and analytical approaches.

In a recent Opinion and Debate article, Holmes [1] summarizes 12 studies that have explored whether the introduction of the policy in 2018 has led to the theorized reduction in consumption in Scotland overall and among population subgroups most likely to experience alcohol‐related harm, including men, harmful drinkers and those living in the
