Here’s an interesting story coming from the BBC for Ipswich where shop owners are being asked to stop selling beer & cider over 6.5% ABV. Details from the BBC:
Shopkeepers in Ipswich are being asked to stop selling beer and cider with an alcohol volume above 6.5%.
Suffolk Police wants shops to voluntarily change their license to prevent sales of the drink and says Tesco and Co-op have already signed up.
In a town centre off license, a 500ml can of 9% lager costs £1.30 and a 7.5% can of cider costs 99p.
Area commander Andrew Mason said it was available for as little as 69p, which he described as "pocket money".
