According to a survey by the Indonesian Ministry of Health (Kemenkes), in 2023, 2.2% of the Indonesian population aged 10 and above had consumed alcoholic beverages.

The most consumed types of alcohol were wine/arak (33%) and beer (21.9%).

Others also consumed clear traditional alcoholic drinks (17.8%), cloudy traditional alcoholic drinks (17.7%), whiskey (5.8%), mixed drinks (3.7%), and others (0.1%).

The government has increased the excise duty on ethyl alcohol-containing beverages (MMEA) or alcoholic beverages for all categories starting January 1, 2024.

Mohammad Faisal, Executive Director of the Center of Reform on Economics (CORE), stated that the excise duty increase aims to reduce the prevalence of alcohol consumption.

He also mentioned that the main function of excise duty is to restrict the circulation of products with negative impacts, not to be the main source of state revenue.

"Excise policies should be directed at controlling the distribution and production of goods with negative externalities, such as alcoholic beverages and tobacco products," said Faisal, as reported by *Bisnis.com* (4/1/2024).
