Raising the price of alcohol by 10 per cent and closing bars and restaurants by 4am are among a raft of recommendations to the Government made by the Law Commission.
The Commission's report, tabled in Parliament at midday, also included the anticipated recommendation of raising the alcohol purchasing age to 20.
Labelling alcohol reform as a "social battleground", the Law Commission has made 153 recommendations to the Government on liquor law reforms.
The Commission analysed the current liquor licensing system, alcohol pricing and promotions, the responsibility of parents and the negative effects of alcohol on health and crime statistics. . . . . .
