Ban on 'All You Can Drink' Deals Proposed

A ban on 'all you can drink' alcohol promotions, plus a legal requirement to check under-18s for ID are just two of the measures being proposed by the government, to cut down on alcohol-related crime.

If the proposals are approved the measures will come into effect in two stages - 6 April 2010 and 1 October 2010. Find out more using our link to the Directgov website.
