An Alcohol Free Childhood

Alcohol marketing influences how children and young people think and feel about alcohol. It develops brand preferences and positive expectations around alcohol, creating and reinforcing social norms around drinking.

We believe that alcohol marketing has no place in childhood. All children should play, learn and socialise in places that are healthy and safe, protected from exposure to alcohol marketing.

An Alcohol Harm Prevention Levy

Currently, retailers retain the additional revenue arising from minimum unit pricing, which has been estimated to be over £30 million per year. We believe the ‘polluter pays’ principle should be applied to the sale of alcohol, meaning retailers should pay a levy towards mitigating the health and social costs caused by the products they sell. This could raise £57m per year for local prevention, treatment, and care services.
