Last chance to have your say on alcohol ad ban

Men watching sport on a pub TV

TIME is running out for those in the hospitality industry to have their say on proposals to ban alcohol advertising.

A Scottish Government consultation on the measures will close on Thursday (9th March). It can be found at https://consult.gov.scot/alcohol-policy/alcohol-advertising-and-promotion/

Proposals in the consultation include:

  • a ban on alcohol sports sponsorship
  • banning alcohol marketing in outdoor spaces, print and online (including any alcohol-branded social media channels and websites)
  • banning the sale of any alcohol-branded merchandise

The Scottish Alcohol Industry Partnership has produced a number of documents to help people respond to the consultation. They can be found here.
