Self-regulation of the drinks industry has failed according to MPs, meaning stricter new laws are due to be introduced.

Tougher powers will be given to police while some alcohol promotions in pubs will also be banned.

The fine for boozing in ‘no drinking’ zones will also shoot up from £500 to £2,500.

Instead of just observing the main High Street, perhaps there’s a new angle you could take.

Shadow officers in A&E or spend time in the custody suite as suspects are brought it.
