Alcohol no subject for publicity stunt politics

10.58.03am GMT Mon 8th Feb 2010

Commenting as Labour launch their Alcohol Commission, Liberal Democrat Justice spokesman Robert Brown MSP said:

“We need to look at ways to change Scotland’s drinking culture effectively.

“More understanding is needed about why young people start drinking- whether Buckfast, beer or alcopops- in the first place.

“Simply banning one or the other will not do the trick.

“Communities ravaged by alcohol want to see the existing law enforced to the hilt.

“The alcohol challenge in Scotland is no subject for publicity stunt politics."
