Banning Alcohol Advertising?

It would solve nothing.

A reasonable minimum price per unit is required.

  1. I suggest three things.
    1 Put up price to a level where it once was.
    2 ban all advertising including sports sponsorship especially Carlsberg on Liverpool shirts

    (as alcohol is actually a drug, a killer, a drain on NHS and leads to crime including spousal abuse and is anti family) it is not consistent with SPORT.

    The third suggestion...PROHIBITION.

  2. I've said it before and I'll say it again, not only should alcohol be beyond children's price range, but it should also be beyond their palates. Who liked beer the first time that they tried it? Yet alcopops and such like are deliberately designed to appeal to children, being too sweet for most adults' tastes.

    Like proper coffee, or dark chocolate, or Seville marmalade, alcoholic drinks should be such that children wouldn't like them even if they could afford them, which they shouldn't be able to do.
