The British Medical Association (BMA) reported today on the sharp rise in alcohol related social and health issues calling for a complete ban on advertising.
How is this likely to affect drinking habits, and does advertising have such a great effect on consumption of alcohol, or just on choice of drink?
What looks likely to happen in the near future is the introduction of a minimum price, and abolishing cut-prices and multi-buy offers. Already Scotland is contemplating a minimum price of 40 pence per unit for alcohol sales.
This may well call time on Happy Hour in the near future, and further strengthens the need for licensed premises to move away from the traditional image of wet-led pubs to become food-led outlets.
SPK stocktakers offer advice to licensees in addition to accurate professional stock takes.
