Doctors and health experts argue that the government has failed to use its most effective weapon, the taxation of minimum price controls on alcohol.
Home Secretary Alan Johnson said he did not want to target responsible drinkers on low incomes, but that the government and the industry had a duty to act on heavy drinking.
“These practices have a real impact on society, not to mention the lives of those who just want to enjoy a good night out.” he said.
The “dentist’s chair”, where drinks are poured directly into the mouth by others, was made famous by the celebrations of footballer Paul Gascoigne. That game and others that promote mass consumption (消费) will be banned from April and publicans (酒店老板) will have to ensure free tap water is made available to the drinkers.
A second set of rules enforcing compulsory ID checks and making sure smaller alcoholic measures are on sale will come into effect in October.
The government says excessive drinking costs Britain up to 12 billion pounds a year and has announced that any pubs that go against the new rule will face severe punishment.
Publicans and vendors (小贩) could lose their licenses, be fined up to 20,000 pounds or face six months in prison.
43. New rules for pubs and clubs will be introduced in Britain to ban heavy drinking because ______.
A. people drink too much without paying taxes
