Political prisoner, activist, journalist, hymn-writer, emerging thinktanker, aspiring novelist, "tribal elder", 2019 parliamentary candidate for North West Durham, Shadow Leader of the Opposition, "Speedboat", "The Cockroach", eagerly awaiting the second (or possibly third) attempt to murder me.
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.
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.

The third suggestion...PROHIBITION.
