The Home Office's Alcohol Strategy 2012

The Home Office has introduced its new Alcohol Strategy which sets out proposals to cut down on binge drinking, alcohol fuelled violence and slash the number of people drinking to damaging levels. The Alcohol Strategy includes committments to:
  • introduce a minimum unit price for alcohol
  • consult on a ban on the sale of multi-buy alcohol discounting
  • introduce stronger powers for local areas to control the density of licensed premises including making the impact on health a consideration for this
  • pilot innovative sobriety schemes to challenge alcohol-related offending
