Title – Alcohol Units Guide
Source – www.bbc.co.uk
Date – 22nd January 2008
The Licensed Retail Sector has changed since the original standard units were introduced and the customers outlets are competing for have changed, but customers are still working on the old unit system. This is in part responsible for the growing numbers of people drinking to excess.
Products sold in the sector are now sold in bigger sizes and stronger ABV’s, we need to ensure that customers are made aware of this so that they can continue to make informed decisions for themselves rather then being dictated to.
A responsible licensed retail sector is not one that dictates, but rather one that informs and guides with the pricing structures and control measures in place to protect those customers who appreciate this responsible alcohol consumption, from those people who will ruin other customer’s enjoyment by their excesses.
The changes need to happen industry wide, it will make the sector less volatile and reduce overheads such as security costs and damage repair, not to mention bring people in who currently don’t use licensed retail facilities because of the binge drinking culture.
Our portfolio of BIIAB Courses can help businesses and organisations develop their employees and business in a responsible and professional manner.
