    Introduce a law to make it illegal for under 18's to wear any clothing especially sports wear that advertises or promotes alcohol.

    So you want people to be able to drive and work but not buy a shirt with an alcohol advert on it?

    Feck that. We have enough dumb laws without introducing another dumb one.

    They'll be too embarrassed to go to the shop/off licence to buy drink.

    The aunt or uncle of the little six year old might be happy to give him a "Superman" or "Harry Potter" tee shirt in exchange for the one sponsored by the drinks company.

    It won't ... but trust some political party to make a big fuss of advocating it!

    Much easier to do than make a concerted effort to actually educate our youngsters about drink / change the drink culture in this country, therefore the perfect policy for TDs to jaw about for days.

    Does this mean they'll have to use the same fake ID that they use to buy alcohol, so that they can buy alcohol related t-shirts?

    I see what you mean OP.

    I think it's wrong that kids are so over-exposed to alcohol, especially alcohol marketing. I think it would be a great idea to follow the French (I never thought I would say that) and introduce a total, blanket-ban on alcohol advertising.
