The HSE and the College of Psychiatry in Ireland have now called for the introduction of minimum pricing for alcohol, a ban on all alcohol advertising — including sponsorship — and a reduction in the number of outlets selling drink.
Speaking before the Oireachtas health committee, Dr Declan Bedford said at least 1,250 people die every year from alcohol.
