Abstract

Scotland, England and Wales, and Ireland have each recently reviewed how licensing laws might influence the increasing levels of alcohol-related problems in each of these countries. Each legislature has arrived at somewhat different recommendations. Scotland may move towards liberalization, albeit within firm guidelines. It is unknown whether emphasis on local review, server training and some restrictions on bar venues offering discount pricing, will be sufficient to alter current trends in alcohol-related problems.
