  • Promotional activity will not urge the consumer to drink rapidly or to “down” a product in one.

  • Effects of intoxication should not be referred to in any favourable manner.
  • We will avoid any promotion that relies on an unpredictable event e.g. ‘first goal scored’, and therefore encourages urgent and/or unplanned alcohol consumption. 
  • We will not have promotions that involve drinking games.
  • We will not have any promotion that involves an initial payment to obtain reduced price alcohol for any period – e.g. “Quid’s In”
