Rehab News:Public booze ban for under 18s
The government is set to announce plans to afford the police greater powers to confiscate alcohol from under-18s who drink in public.
The move forms part of home secretary Jacqui Smith's attempts to combat the
binge drinking culture in Britain.
Currently, police are only able to seize alcohol from groups who are suspected of alcohol-related crime or disorder - in other words, while it is illegal for under-18s to buy drink, they are still allowed to drink it.
"If children are caught drinking in public they'll have those drinks confiscated," Ms Smith confirmed in the News of the World.
"I fully support communities' efforts to stamp out under-age alcohol-fuelled disorder and the harm that it causes."
Meanwhile, the home secretary is also looking to put more onus on drink manufacturers to ensure that alcohol is not sold to under-18s.
"The home secretary will listen to police and is ready to give them extra powers. She is very keen to go for this," a Home Office spokesperson said.
