The bill, which originated from a National Party private members bill, has been picked up by Act's Nicole McKee as the Associate Minister of Justice.
Professor Sally Casswell is a Co-Director of the SHORE and Whariki Research Centre at Massey University's College of Health.
She talks to Mihingarangi Forbes about what this could mean for our drinking habits.
