The Research Society on Alcohol (RSA), until 2023, known as the Research Society on Alcoholism, was established in 1976.  Today, the goals of RSA are to provide a forum for communication and career development among alcohol researchers, to attract and support the next generation of alcohol researchers and to disseminate scientific knowledge regarding alcohol use and alcohol-related problems. We invite you to join our community of researchers.
