Notes

The "Alles im griff?" campaign ("Everything under control?") in Switzerland was a phased programme lasting from 1999 to 2008. It consisted of poster and television advertisements against alcohol misuse, using at first (1999) the corkscrew and then (2000-2008) the drinking glass as its unifying motif--website of the Bundesamt für Gesundheit, accessed 1 March 2011
