Tim Stockwell is a scientist who studies alcohol use. He has been called "one of the foremost experts on alcohol and longevity".[1]

Career

Stockwell has devoted his entire professional life to drugs and alcohol and their health effects.[2]

Stockwell earned his PhD in psychology and has degrees in psychology and philosophy.[2]

Stockwell was the director of the Canadian Institute for Substance Use Research from 2004 to 2010.[2] to 2020.[3]

Stockwell was formerly a supporter of moderate drinking and considered the basic protective properties settled.[4]

In 2001, Stockwell agreed to work with Kaye Middleton Fillmore, a sociologist at the University of California, San Francisco, to sift through the previous studies and reanalyze them in ways that could account for confounding of moderate drinkers with non-drinkers. Their findings were published in 2006,[5] and questioned the validity of studies pointing to health benefits.[1]

In 2023, Dr Stockwell led a meta-analysis that concluded no amount of alcohol improves health and alcohol could increase one's risk of mortality.[1]

Stockwell’s findings are controversial, headline-grabbing, and influencing government policy and drinkers around the world.[3]

Stockwell’s work has been published in esteemed organs such as The Lancet.[3]

Associations

Stockwell characterizes his connections to abstinence organizations as "fleeting".[2]

Stockwell was president of the Kettil Bruun Society from 2005 to 2007, a think tank that emerged from the international abstinence congresses.[2]

Stockwell has led expert committees that advised the Canadian government, US government, and WHO.[2]

Stockwell signed an open letter calling for WHO not to engage with alcohol lobbyists anymore.[2]

Tim Stockwell has long been an important advisor to WHO. He has participated in several initiatives, including the development of reports, guidelines, and policy recommendations that influence global alcohol policy.[2]

Stockwell is a member of the expert committee of Eurocare, whose goal is to 'prevent and reduce alcohol-related harm within European political decisions regarding alcohol.'[2]

Stockwell has appeared in several podcasts, such as Tribe Sober, the official Movendi podcast,[2] Drinks Insider,[6]

Stockwell was a key member of a panel that slashed Canada’s recommended weekly allowance from 10 drinks for women and 15 drinks for men to two drinks for each sex.[3]

Stockwell has attended a meeting funded by the Swedish Temperance Organisation, and written material that they have published.[3]

Stockwell has attended some of the meetings of the International Order of Good Templars, also known as Movendi International but he is not a member.[3] Stockwell co-authored an article for the Good Templars organization in 2016.[2]

Criticism

Christopher Snowdon, a British author and freelance journalist known for opposing government intervention in areas such as tobacco, alcohol, and obesity, has criticized Stockwell's review as follows: "Stockwell's approach to alcohol issues is refreshingly simple. If he wants something to be true, he says it is true – regardless of what the evidence says."[2]

Dan Malleck of Brock University states "people like Stockwell have doubled down on researching harms because that's where the money is."[2]

Richard Harding has accused Stockwell of cherry-picking six out of 107 studies to support his agenda.[2] Stockwell accused Harding of being an "industry-funded person" who has "made a living from putting a good spin on the relationship between alcohol and health".[3]

Someone (Snowdon?) accuses Stockwell of being a front for a worldwide temperance lobby that is secretly attempting to ban alcohol.[3]
