LONDON — Bar-going Britons may soon be bidding goodbye to their country’s all-you-can-drink deals — as well as some of their more outlandish drinking games.
The government said Tuesday it was banning irresponsible promotions and boozy contests such as the “dentist’s chair” — where alcohol is poured directly into customers’ mouths — in an effort to tackle Britain’s binge-drinking problem.
Health experts say the nation’s deepening alcohol problem would best be tackled by imposing higher minimum prices on Britain’s cheap booze.
