The Government must get fully behind a new strategy to address alcohol misuse, members of the steering group on the issue have said.
The 'Report of the National Substance Misuse Strategy steering group' was published today amid questions about levels of Government support and concerns the drinks’ industry may persuade legislators against its more radical recommendations.
It calls for a ban on all alcohol sponsorship of sporting and large outdoor events, a ban on all outdoor advertising of alcohol, an increase in the excise duties on some alcohol products and the introduction of a minimum price per gram of alcohol.
