Aims:
The aim of this study was to examine the distribution of alcohol outlets by area deprivation across Glasgow, Scotland.
Methods:
All alcohol outlets were mapped and density per 1000 residents and proximity to nearest outlet calculated across quintiles of area deprivation.
Results:
The socio-spatial distribution of alcohol outlets varies by deprivation across Glasgow but not systematically. Some deprived areas contain the highest concentration while others in similar deprivation quintiles contain very few.
Conclusions:
Considerations of the local context are important in examining access to alcohol but more research is also required on purchasing behaviour.

It defines a protecting group as the masking agent to make the more reactive species inert to a given set of conditions. This concept is depicted via the illustration of liquid flow through different outlets in an assembly of pipes. The analogy helps to understand the role...
