Plan to raise age limit for alcohol sales wins praiseBRIAN DONNELLY
March 22, 2008
Campaigners yesterday praised the Scottish Government for its "courage" in considering radical new plans to tackle alcohol abuse by upping the age limit.
However, representatives of the licensed trade industry said the proposals to raise the legal drinking age from 18 to 21, revealed in The Herald yesterday, were naive and unworkable.
The Scottish Government confirmed last night it is considering the move as part of a package to be unveiled later this year.
