Current Advertising Restrictions • Since 1996, the alcohol industry’s Portman Group has operated a voluntary code of practice regulating the marketing of alcoholic drinks with particular reference to young people. This covers the naming, packaging and promotion of alcoholic drinks, but not advertising. • On 1 November 2004, the Advertising Standards Authority assumed responsibility for all advertising standards and consumer complaints, both broadcast and non-broadcast. • As a result of a voluntary agreement between the manufacturers and the TV companies in 1965, spirits were not advertised on commercial television. This agreement was abandoned with effect from June 1995. • Recent closed consultation on the selling of alcohol
call for action - promotion • The BMA recommend that the UK Governments should: • Enforce a comprehensive ban on all alcohol marketing communications • Audit the market, and consider ways to prohibit any products that either appeal to young people more than adults, or are particularly associated with problematic drinking • Introduce a compulsory levy on the alcohol industry to fund an independent public health body to oversee alcohol related research, health promotion and policy advice. The levy should be set as a proportion of current expenditure on alcohol marketing, index linked in future years.
