Proposed change to sale of alcohol

From Saturday Morning, 7:09 am today

With the festive season in full swing, the government is proposing to allow restaurants with on-site retail spaces to sell take-home booze. 

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.
