Bhattacharya on pubs

Alcohol Alert, September 2017: In this episode, our very own policy analyst, Aveek Bhattacharya, explains the findings behind his report, Pubs Quizzed (bit.ly/pubsquizzed), based on a survey of publicans which found that four-in-five of them think off-licences sell alcohol too cheaply, and that the majority support a reduction in the drink-drive limit for England and Wales.
