Ministry finishes its draft law on alcohol
The Ministry of Health has completed a draft law on alcohol regulation, which will set a minimum drinking age, increase taxes on alcohol and place other controls on the sale, consumption and advertising of alcohol.
Dr Ray Rany, head of tobacco and alcohol at the Health Ministry’s National Centre for Health Promotion, said: “The law includes items that make it illegal to sell alcohol to people under 21 years of age, and to pregnant women.”
