Closed petition: Make it illegal to be drunk in public places except licensed venues

Closed on 8 June 2026

I want the Government to introduce a law making it illegal to be drunk in public areas, except in licensed venues

We believe public drunkenness is a serious concern. It leads to antisocial behaviour, violence, and makes many people feel unsafe in their communities. It also puts pressure on the police, NHS, and local services. Many people are also harming themselves through excessive drinking in public, wasting their money and damaging their health and wellbeing. Something needs to be done.
