Limit increases in the number and concentration of alcohol outlets by area or by population through licensing or zoning regulations

Offer payments, credits toward health insurance premiums, or other financial rewards to encourage employees to lose weight, eat more healthily, quit smoking, engage in physical activity, etc.
