Gordon Brown has hosted a seminar with the drinks industry to tackle underage and binge drinking. Despite retailers apparently not being present at the meeting, the PM "challenged alcohol producers and retailers to take part in the effort to deal with unacceptable drinking, or face tougher action".
The government launched a campaign focused on the on-trade, but which also highlighted the fact that "retailers risk heavy fines or losing their licences for repeat offences". By the end of 2008, "most labels" on alcoholic products would include sensible drinking guidelines.
