Warning, this alcoholic beverage will get you drunk?

What people are overlooking is that this will introduce nutrition labels on alcohol. People really overlook the stark amount of calories in the things they drink

I think the most sensible option here is that ea ch individual alcoholic brand should be required to verify the age of the drinker and capture consent that they are aware of the health risk associated.
While the pub could do this, the British option is clearly to ensure the obligation sits with as many people as possible to ensure the total compliance costs are as high as humanely possible and shut small players out the market.

This just seems rather pointless. Everyone already knows alcohol is bad for you

Warning, excessive alcohol consumption may result in 18 years of pain and financial suffering.

Forget warning labels they should do what they did with cigarettes
Make all the containers the exact same design like all grey with a warning picture of the effects and Ariel black font saying the brand
I guess instead of a collapsed lung or pictures of tar they can just have a picture of Gascoigne holding chicken and a fishing rod near Raoul moat or an 18 year old in bed with a 65 year old heffa

‘Alcohol can cause XYZ’
Really? I thought it was a fucking health tonic!?!

I love beer and would drink it every day but it’s so calorific. This is a good move.

With technology available these days, why don’t we just have mini cameras fitted to cans so you can submit your ID in order to drink them?

A lot of bottles already have these calorie labels. Not all list alcohol units though, which I thought was mandatory. Only liquid volume and abv seem to be common.

We should introduce drink limits in pubs, you should have to apply for a drink license and you receive a card. When you purchase a drink it registers on your card and then after a certain amount of drinks you can no longer buy anything for a 24 hour period.

It’s a good thing to have information.
As long as they do not remove labelling and have all alcohol in camo green paint with warning labels and x-rays of your organs plastered all over it.

Maybe try running the country so the folk at the bottom don’t wanna get hammered to forget their lives….at least that’s what a friend said

Returned to UK for a holiday after a fairly long absence and the sense of a nanny state more interested in performance over substance is very strong. What exactly is a warning label going to achieve ?

Essentially means that alcohol will not be an exemption to the current labeling system.
I don’t know if the nutritional information that they introduced in other products have had a significant positive effect though. If it hasn’t, I still think it would be easier to ditch ozempic to everyone that wants it though.

You’ll need to upload permission from your doctor to be allowed to consume each pint, via a special face recognition ID check app.

I bet half of the people complaining about many state interference over a substance that we know to be damaging to health and society want vaping banned because it smells funny and we don’t know the long term effects.

I wonder if I’ll have “Beer causes heart disease” scrawled in place of my shamrock…

Diabetics everywhere breathing a sigh of relief knowing they soon won’t have to randomly guess how much insulin to inject for a beer. I’m all for this!

Alcohol is bad mmmkay. Another pointless virtue signalling job by the government just so they can brag about how they helped to solve the issue. Maybe look at reasons why people use alcohol as an escape from losing their job or being unable to pay extortionate rent and energy bills. All things the government are entirely responsible for.
