Call to halt cheap alcohol offers


The government needs to introduce tougher measures to limit the sale of cheap alcohol, doctors warn.

A British Medical Association report said pricing and promotion of drinks was fuelling an "alcohol epidemic".

It called for an end to happy hours in pubs and cut-price supermarket deals as well as improved access to treatment.




So it is a health issue to have such accessable alcohol for people. Cheap alcohol is typically not the best for you and it is the most abused. It can caus liver diseases.
