A new piece of legislation proposed in Scotland would ban alcohol sponsorships and advertising on television, billboards, merchandise, and at public events like concerts or music festivals.
The new legislation intends to address alcohol-related issues that face Scotland’s communities by limiting the visibility of alcohol marketing for children and avoiding triggering heavy drinkers or those in recovery.
According to a Scottish Health survey, the percentage of hazardous or harmful levels of weekly alcohol consumption in 2021 was 23%, averaging from 31% for men and 16% for women.
