This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Rejected petition Ban strong alcoholic drinks from being sold in off licenses.
It is proven that alcohol makes people violent and aggressive so why sell cans of strong alcoholic drinks in off licenses for cheap prices. It's not encouraging to alcoholics who are selling their belongings for a really strong drink thats only a pound. There needs to be a law changed immediately.
More details
The evidence is out on the streets. The cans all dumped across the streets everywhere. Empty cans of karpacki dumped just outside the newsagents they bought them from. Alcoholics are making the UK untidy. It's the council who have to clean up behind them and not to mention 9 times out of 10, police are called to alcohol related problems. There needs to be an investigation into these drinks as people who drink it have described it as brain damage juice and have said it is really strong.
