DRINKERS<\/strong> would face significant price increases for beer and wine under a proposal to cut Australians\u2019 alcohol \u00adconsumption.<\/p>\n

Under the draft plan, \u00adreleased by federal and state ministers, the cost of all \u00adalcoholic drinks would not be allowed to fall below a set level.<\/p>\n

The draft national alcohol strategy, quietly released last month, also calls for tough \u00adrestrictions on alcohol advertising during sport, and laws to stop bottle shops providing two-for-one offers and bulk-buy booze discounts.<\/p>\n

Other proposals include:<\/p>\n

NEW<\/strong> restrictions on the serving of drinks after a certain time, and plastic glassware to be used in \u201chigh-risk venues\u201d;<\/p>\n

MANDATORY<\/strong> sobriety conditions on repeat offenders, and linked ID scanners to \u00adprevent entry to venues;<\/p>\n

UNDERCOVER<\/strong> checks to ensure bottle shops and venues do not serve those under age;<\/p>\n

ASKING<\/strong> alcohol companies to put \u201creadable, impactful health-related warning labels\u201d on their products. Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt chaired last month\u2019s ministerial forum which agreed to release the draft strategy for a final round of feedback, after three years of consultation, with the aim of finalising it by March.<\/p>\n
