RASC (Responsible Alcohol Sales Campaign)
Undercover police officer will be watching pub landlords, off-licence staff and drinkers this Christmas and will be enforcing on-the-spot £80 fine for being drunk to any member of they public who police officers says is drunk under Home office Guidelines. Also police will covertly be watching landlords and off-licence staff who are selling alcohol to members of the public who are already drunk. Seems The law states that it is illegal to 'knowingly sell to a drunk person' and the courts have defined drunks as people who have "drunk intoxicating liquor to the extent which affects self-control."
Sounds like the UKs police forces will be raking in the money this Christmas especially as a majority of pub goers do not know about this new clamp down.
