In September 2020, Alcohol Focus Scotland reconstituted an international expert network on alcohol marketing to update its 2017 report on alcohol marketing, Promoting Good Health from Childhood, and inform action by the Scottish Government.

The Network ran to June 2022, involving experts in alcohol marketing research, law and policy as they relate to the protection of public health, and produced a new report, Realising our Rights: How to protect people from alcohol marketing.
