"Pubs and clubs will be forced to tackle Britain's so-called “booze culture” with bans on happy hours, discount drinks and extra-large glasses of wine under government plans. A report published yesterday by the Department of Health sets out tougher regulations to curb excessive drinking amid evidence of alleged widespread abuse of the voluntary code. Councils should have powers to ban periods when drinks are sold cheaply, force supermarkets to stop selling alcohol next to checkout tills and make bars sell drinks in non-breakable glass, the consultation paper recommends."
