The RSA Annual Meeting is the premiere conference for dissemination of scientific knowledge regarding alcohol use and alcohol-related problems. Since 1976, RSA has been providing a forum for communication and career development among alcohol researchers.

RSA provides a community for sharing scientific discoveries, attracting and supporting career development of the next generation of alcohol researchers, disseminating scientific knowledge regarding alcohol use to our members and the public, and raising public awareness and understanding of the health implications of alcohol use and alcohol-related harm.
