Scottish Government: Restricting alcohol advertising and promotion

Scottish Government: Restricting alcohol advertising and promotion

This consultation seeks views on potential restrictions to alcohol advertising and promotion in Scotland.

The key measures which would have a direct impact on local shops include:

  • Prohibiting window displays from being included within the permitted alcohol display area
  • Limiting alcohol from being displayed in aisle-end displays
  • Restricting the use of mixed alcohol and non-alcohol aisles
  • Limiting the display of alcohol similar to the restrictions applied to retailers for the display of tobacco products
  • Positioning alcohol in separate area of the shop behind barriers or in enclosed adjacent storage units
