The Canadian Institute of Substance Use Research (CISUR) created Know Alcohol to give Canadians the latest evidence-based information on alcohol to help them make better decisions about their drinking. Our website aims to promote Canada’s Guidance on Alcohol and Health and is the first to provide personalized information on alcohol consumption and the benefits of drinking less.
CISUR's research and knowledge-sharing activities support a wide range of projects aimed at preventing and reducing harm from substance use in diverse populations locally, nationally, and internationally.
Know Alcohol was created in partnership with the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction (CCSA) and is funded by a contribution from Health Canada’s Substance Use and Addictions Program (SUAP). The views expressed herein do not necessarily represent the views of Health Canada.

CISUR has also produced the Canadian Alcohol Policy Evaluation (CAPE).
CAPE is an ongoing research project that provides rigorous assessments of the existence of evidence-based provincial, territorial, and federal alcohol policies in Canada to reduce harm from alcohol use.
Provincial, territorial and federal evaluations and recommendations can be found here.
